The Rock is actually the top of Mount Moriah, not just a separate piece of rock. The building of the Dome of the Rock was constructed in such as way as to leave the top of the mountain exposed inside the building. The Rock didn’t ‘get there’, as the Rock was there first.

Let the Waqf dig, that's who. They can't hide everything they find. Just look at what we know about what they are doing with this latest trench. And, by the way, this is the first glimpse we have had in our lifetimes of anything under the pavement stones on the Mount. Sure, the rubble isn't being catalogued, and I know that upsets the archaeologists, but that's a small price to pay to have some excavations going on anywhere on the Mount. Letting the Waqf dig is the only way we are going to see what lies beneath the pavement stones. We all know the remains of the Temples are under there somewhere. Let the Waqf uncover the evidence for the world to see, and it will! To #13 Phil. Let the Waqf dig, that’s who. They can’t hide everything they find.

Let WHO dig? The same people who are trying to destroy evidence of the truth that you wish to see uncovered!? Sheesh.

This government is willing to sacrifice Jewish lives to further their political careers by releasing terrorists and giving terrorists guns which they know will be used to murder Jews. That they should agree to the destruction of the Holy Temple in order to find favour with those who hate Israel is quite consistant with their immoral policies.
