I fail to understand your logic.

It is easy to understand why the Muslims are so afraid of archaeological digs--not only on the Temple Mount itself but also around it--although these digs also shed light on Jerusalem's Muslim history. Muslims fear these excavations, not because they physically endanger al-Aqsa's foundations, but because they undermine the tissue of lies proclaiming that the Jews have no valid historical roots in the city and its holy sites.

The Israel Antiquities Authority coordinated its salvage dig by the Rambam (Mughrabi) Gate of the Old City with the Islamic Waqf, the Jordanian government and all other relevant authorities before its archeologists began their work this week. Everyone understood that the excavation is being conducted 70 meters away from the Temple Mount and will in no way affect it.

The Palestinians and other Muslims routinely accuse Israel of threatening their holy places in Jerusalem and have discovered that this is a good way to provoke local violence and international condemnation. The tactic goes back to the 1920s when the Mufti of Jerusalem made similar charges that provoked widespread rioting. The latest example of using this method of incitement (which violates the road map and Oslo agreements) came when Sheikh Mohammad Hussein, the director of the Al-Aksa Foundation, accused Israel of excavating under the Temple Mount with the intention of destroying the Al-Aksa mosque.159

As in the past, the charge is a total fabrication. The most recent construction involved the development of a new visitors center built around new findings excavated near the Western Wall. Discoveries at the new site include a ritual bath from the period of the second Jewish Temple, destroyed in 70 C.E., and a wall archaeologists say dates to the first Jewish Temple, destroyed in 586 B.C.E.160 The work was done in the already tunnel area that has now been open to tourists for several years. It is not underneath the Temple Mount and nowhere near the Al-Aksa mosque. What really bothers the sheikh is that the center will “show a fabricated heritage that might help them to deceive foreign visitors into believing Jerusalem as a historical place of the Jews....” 161

Israel denied the accusations, but official government denials rarely satisfy those who are ready to believe any libel emanating from the Palestinian Authority. In this case, however, UPI reporter Joshua Brilliant attended the Foundation press conference during which a misleading film was shown purporting to prove the charges. Brilliant independently investigated the tunnel and found no evidence of any excavation in the direction of the mosque. A Hamas website nevertheless said that a synagogue was under the mosque and “We will spill blood and offer souls in defense of the mosque.”162

Why would the excavations of an area outside the temple mount area, nowhere near the mosque that are a threat to no one and should not bother anyone be the concern of the UN?

I would think that they would have more pressing concerns... Then again, they are pretty much like the League of Nations anyways... with their inability to address the nuclear ambitions of Iran and such...

But I understand... you're more concerned about a "Muslim Shrine" that isn't being touched. How touching.

Your first sentence is wrong.

Read the Bible.

Israel, has been there, is there and will be there.

Don't you know of the 12 tribes of Israel, actually there are 13, but that was ruled by a woman, and even then, it was misogynist.

The point is, Israel, within the Judeo-Christian ethics, is an foundation in the principles and beleifs of Judeo-Christianity and as you wrongly beleive, was not created in 1946, but when God created the earth.
