And the fountain gate repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of the district of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king's garden, even unto the stairs that go down from the city of David.
NEHEMIAH (3:15)
וְאֵת שַׁעַר הָעַיִן הֶחֱזִיק שַׁלּוּן בֶּן כָּל חֹזֶה שַׂר פֶּלֶךְ הַמִּצְפָּה הוּא יִבְנֶנּוּ וִיטַלְלֶנּוּ ויעמידו (וְיַעֲמִיד) דַּלְתֹתָיו מַנְעֻלָיו וּבְרִיחָיו וְאֵת חוֹמַת בְּרֵכַת הַשֶּׁלַח לְגַן הַמֶּלֶךְ וְעַד הַמַּעֲלוֹת הַיּוֹרְדוֹת מֵעִיר דָּוִיד

The most extraordinary site where one can feel the merging of biblical text with biblical archaeology is Jerusalem's City of David National Park. Although identified in the mid 19th century, many answers to biblical riddles still lay locked beneath its soil. Only recently, the Davidic palace foundations were discovered in a pre-existing Canaanite structure, illuminating the verse "David took the [Canaanite] stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David" (II Samuel 5:7). As one stands in this spot and gazes at the mountains in all directions, King David's words come to life: "As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people, from this time forth and for ever" (Psalms 125:2).

As holy books are burnt by Arab arsonists in Gush Etzion, the silence of those that decry anti-arab graffitti, is deafening. Double standard?
