Traces of burnt wheat found in Israel’s Upper Galilee are evidence of the 13th-century-BCE Israelite conquest of the Promised Land, an archeologists said. This season, the excavation...uncovered a storage room in the castle. In the room were 14 large clay jugs containing seeds of burnt wheat.
Professor Amnon Ben-Tur of the Hebrew University...said that the jugs were destroyed around the 13th century BCE, a period, he said, which coincided with the biblical account of Joshua’s capture of Hazor. According to Chapter 11 in the Book of Joshua, Hazor was the only city in the Land of Israel that was destroyed by fire during the conquest...Hazor was not included in any of the lists of Israelite cities destroyed by the Pharaohs...Ben-Tur said that the recent discovery at Hazor “sheds even more light on Israelite history.”...

wait, did the NYT indicate that Israel initiated terror for which Iran is taking revenge?
“… Bellicose adversaries, Israel and Iran have a long history of accusing each other of terrorist attacks. Iran, which does not recognize Israel’s right to exist and has sometimes referred to Israel as a Zionist plague on the Middle East, has blamed Israeli agents for a string of assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists over the past five years, for which Iran has vowed revenge. …”
thanks for the compliment but it is the mindless thinking of the Left that is the problem and letting this slip by without notice would be - not me.
come on. give people space to say things they think are of good intent. picking on the use of "innocent Israeli civilians" as a cover for some deeper underlying malevolence is legalistic, sophomoric and not worth the time. Seriously. You do too much good work to stoop to this level.
