This was a statement from the last article that is factual!
On Monday morning, Landau took about a dozen members of Yisrael Beytenu’s English-speaking and youth divisions on a tour of the City of David archeological park, the site of an important excavation.
“If all those who are now criticizing Israel abroad would also take part on such visits, they would say the same things,” Landau told The Times of Israel, referring to the 3,000-year-old Jewish presence in Jerusalem, which he said was evidenced by the archeologists’ findings. “I do understand why Arabs do criticize [us] and are doing whatever possible to stop these excavations here, because every layer which is discovered simply shows how deep Jewish roots here are, and how nil are any Arab footprints.”
“I would invite here all of our European and North American colleagues who level their criticism these days, just to come and pay a short visit,” he added. “At least, if they then had criticism this wouldn’t come out of ignorance.”
