Definition of Hypocrisy

In an informative post about the brouhaha around the Mugrabi Bridge renovation, Laya brings up a point that has received little attention, but should receive a lot:

Now, one reason that this newest instance of “Muslim outrage” is so absurd is that the Waqf itself has been digging ON the Temple Mount since 1996.

Their digging, by contrast, has been using bulldozers to quite literally rip up priceless archaeological artifacts, many of which are from the first and second temple periods, before unceremoniously dumping them outside the area. This digging, unsupervised by the Antiquities Authority, has caused severe structural damage to the area. While this is in complete violation of 1967’s Protection of Holy Places Law, Israel has barely raised a peep about it, let alone used it as an excuse for violence.

Lots of links and good visuals at her post here.
