if true, and if they don't stop, will cause a great deal of trouble. israel says the same about muslims though, they say they get rid of jewish evidence.

endless amount of trouble, just gets worse.

I'd check the paint to see if there are different layers to it. Who knows it might of originally been a synagogue. Throughout history it is well know that often times temples are converted to whatever the religion the people transition into. Examples of this are Roman Catholic Churches built on Roman Temples. It is extremely expensive to pay for an excavation such as this, something I am certain the Palestian leadership couldn't afford right now. I say with my biased American view let them continue the excavation and let's see what they find.
