The law suit alleges that Islamic officials have engaged in the deliberate destruction of ancient Jewish relics on the Temple Mount. As you are aware, in recent months the WAQF has accelerated its efforts at destroying all evidence of Jewish ownership of the Temple Mount and has brought in bulldozers and heavy digging equipment to carry out "renovations". Israeli archaeologists who have sifted through the discarded earth were shocked to have discovered a great number of Jewish artifacts brutally trashed by the bulldozers. A wall from the outer courtyard of the Second Temple is believed to have been completely pulverized.

The criminal case was filed in the Jerusalem District Court on Thursday 1.11.2007. This private criminal action is the first of its kind in Israeli legal history and utilizes a seldom applied section of the criminal code. If convicted, the WAQF officials face years in prison.
The court papers contend that the recent destruction is part of a four decade long campaign by the WAQF to eradicate all evidence of the historical Jewish connection and claim to the Temple Mount.

We will keep updating you on all future developments in the case.

Thank you for your important involvement !

Sincerely yours,
