Can't be. It's all Zionist propaganda.

There never was a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem
Yasir Abed-Rabbo, Arafat aide.

I will not allow it to be written of me that I confirmed the existence of the so-called temple underneath the mountain [the Temple Mount]...
Yasser Arafat to President Clinton, no record of Clinton's response.

That is not the Western Wall at all, but a Moslem shrine.
Yasser Arafat

Abraham was neither Jewish nor a Hebrew, but was simply an Iraqi. The Jews have no right to claim part of the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, Abraham's resting place, as a synagogue. Rather, the whole building should be a mosque.
Yasser Arafat

The Al-Buraq wall [the Western Wall] is Muslim property and it is part of the Al Aqsa Mosque of course.
Religious Affairs Minister Hassan Tahboob

There is no tangible evidence of any Jewish traces/remains in the old city of Jerusalem and its immediate vicinity
PA Ministry of Information

Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem is the traditional tomb of the Cushite servant of Mohammed

Jerusalem is not a Jewish city, despite the biblical myth implanted in some minds...There is no tangible evidence of Jewish existence from the so-called 'Temple Mount Era'...The location of the Temple Mount is in question...it might be in Jericho or somewhere else
Walid Awad, Ministry of Information

According to historical records, the settlement was on the main Roman road between Jerusalem and Nazareth.

Discovery of an ancient village just outside Jerusalem has brought into question one of the strongest images of biblical times, the wholesale flight of Jews running for their lives after the Roman destruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D.

LOL!

Hell, HE's antediluvian!

Wait a minute, this can't be! According to the muslims, Jews never lived in the area, at least not until those evil zionists stole all their land, and killed nearly 300 billion peaceful muslim palestinians living there, back in 1948!

Well, presumably the Israelis (who are Jewish and do respectfully disagree with your religion) don’t want to insult Christians by saying something like “After Death of Notable Heretic” or somesuch.

So they compromised with “Common Era.”
