BBC & Israel undermine archeology

The BBC described this artefact as "found in the Judean desert".
That is like saying something found in Nazi Germany was "found in the Teutonic desert". They are repeating racially biased propaganda from the Israeli state archaeology swindle.

Jerusalem orders Palestinian homes to be razed

Jerusalem's city council has ordered one of the largest mass demolitions in the city's recent history, with plans to raze the homes of about 1,000 Palestinians in a neighbourhood claimed by Jewish settlers.
The council says about 90 buildings served with demolition orders were built illegally over the last three decades on a site of religious and archaeological value just outside the Old City walls, and that they are being destroyed to restore the area as a national park.
