So what's with the online elimination of ancient Israelite Sealings having letters from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem? No other online collection seems to have been taken down there. I first noticed this several weeks ago. For example: Photo online at: https://www.imj.org.il/en/collections/369218-0

This looks like pure knowledge suppression to me because all these sealing texts are all turning out to be in Alphabetic Akkadian and not in Hebrew.

My wife and I were living in #Israel when #Rabin was assassinated. That was a horrible night. It happened while we were attending a jazz concert at the #IsraelMuseum. I can still remember getting on the bus to go home after the concert. It was dead silent except for the news playing on the radio. My Hebrew isn't great, but it's better than my wife's, so I was trying to translate what the newscaster was saying.
Honestly, it's been all down-hill since then.
