Israel Today has this article on what could be a major archaeological find, if anyone was allowed to excavate it. It is the remains of a palace that could date back to David. It is in the in the Judean hills in territory claimed by the Palestinian Authority. The Antiquities Authority is worried about political sensitivities and jeopardising the peace process.
Israel is colluding in the suppression of its own history in the Land.
In the short term, it could be problematic, but as one famous Jew said, You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free'. He was speaking of Himself as the Messiah, but it also applies to lesser non-incarnate truths.
It does the Arabs no good to have the truth about Israels' history hidden from them. Strengthen the hands of those who want to live in peace in the Land. Tell the truth.
What sort of hasbara is this? Sometimes Israel really is its own worst enemy.
