I can see why they’d do this, so I won’t take issue with the Hamas choice. I think my bigger concern is: why does Israel, who controls the Temple Mount, allow a terrorist organization to have free reign?

Archaeologists Issue Urgent Warnings Against Temple Mount Dig
(IsraelNN.com) Top Israeli archaeologists held an emergency press conference on Thursday, warning that a Second Temple courtyard wall is in danger of being destroyed by the Arab excavations there.
Members of the Committee to Prevent the Destruction of Temple Mount Antiquities warned that other artifacts could also be endangered by the unsupervised dig.
Dr. Gavriel Barkai opened by saying, “A month and a half ago, the Muslim Waqf [religious trust] began digging a trench more than 400 meters [1,300 feet] long – the largest such work ever carried out on the Temple Mount… These are criminal acts that have no place in a cultured country.”
“Some man-worked stones have been found in the trench, as well as remnants of a wall that according to all our estimations, are from a structure in one of the outer courtyards in the Holy Temple. Such important work is being done without the supervision of the Antiquities Authority.”

Again I must say, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Olmert give the Temple Mount away. By the time he’s out of office in 2010, I expect Olmert will have given away all the land gained in the 6 Day War.
