Scrolls controversy
[edit]I'm not convinced that the scrolls controversy should be reported here (there are articles about the scrolls themselves where it would no doubt be appropriate). However if we do report it, using the term "was criticised by some arab scholars" isn't accurate reporting. One head of antiquities described the acquisition as a theft, in a controversy that was more about politics than scholarship. --Tony Sidaway 14:24, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- I believe the reason the material was brought here altogether was to insert a political agenda, if not through the front door, than through the back. Adding more quotes and material on this issue which was phrased in a very "in your face" and aggressive way from the start, is to give undue weight to a conflict that is only indirectly related to the Rockefeller Museum - a very interesting museum with many fascinating artifacts, but almost unknown and unvisited. I will not allow this article, to which I have been a long-time contributor, to be turned into yet another forum for people who have a history of going from one article to the next to push their political views and stir up hatred.--Gilabrand (talk) 14:52, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
If The Rockefeller Museum is located in East Jerusalem it is not technically located in Israel. The text clearly says [...]museum located in Jerusalem, Israel [...] that is outside Israel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magnus Widman (talk • contribs) 00:52, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Unexplained non neutral revert
[edit]Jiujitsuguy, why did you revert me here:[1] and ad a category for "Archaeology museums in Israel" for this article when its not located in Israel? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 04:14, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
- Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, you should know that by now. K thanks bye120.144.178.40 (talk) 09:40, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
the name in the mandate period
[edit]For the record, the Palestine Post called it "Palestine Archaeological Museum" 303 times and "Rockefeller Museum" 55 times (once even in the same article). Both names existed even before the museum opened to the public. Zerotalk 14:30, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
The Imperial Museum of Antiquities (1901–1917) couldn't be "housed" in a building which was only erected 2 decades after the demise of the Ottomans.
It must be clarified if indeed the Ottoman museum's collection did end up in the new museum, and in general if and in which way the two are connected.
I don't have the time to read the source article in full, and it lacks a short overview or "Conclusion" section. Arminden (talk) 07:44, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Neutrality
[edit]'Israeli liberation of Judea and Samaria' seems a ridiculously partisan way to describe the events of 1967 and not up to standards 176.29.167.167 (talk) 09:03, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- Propose 'the Israeli capture and occupation of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem)' to reflect the language used on the page for the Six-Day-War 176.29.167.167 (talk) 09:10, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
