If nothing else there's a Shia LeBeouf joke in there if you don't mind acknowledging The Beef being cast as Jones' son in the 4th one (look up Shia's ethnic background).

IIRC he was essentially scamming money from Othrodox Jewsih groups to fund these expeditions to "rescue" the Torahs. Tats or someon more knowledgeable on this than me can correct me, but as I understand it, in many Jewish traditions, Torah scrolls are consiered to be almost "people" and so there is a strong emotional religious desire to see ones that are lost or mistreated rescued, and he was playing on that to do a long con.

Probably shoud have
read this first
. Real Torah scrolls are very expensive, very complex and have a rich set of styles and histories. A real scroll takes about a year to create.

Welsh and Jewish, two for the price of one. Your best comedy value in the graveyard tonight.
It's a good thing those Nazis didn't know that Harrison Ford is part Jewish. They might not have wasted their time on Bad Guy
badinage
.
Were those things in the Ark of the Covenant supposed to be ghosts, or demons, or angels or what?
The Lord works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform.
This was one of his odder miracles, although gratifying, even for us heathens and gentiles. Thus perish all the cruel enemies of the Lord and of movie heroes. Although the movie heroes usually get a good beating first, enough to kill an ordinary mortal or leave him incapacitated and using a colostomy bag for life.
They really should have known better than to touch the Ark of the Covenant, let alone open it, without a High Priest present. It's all right there in the Bible and the works of Von Daniken--remember the guy who reached out to try to stabilize it when it was tipping over--killed instantly, even though he meant well.
Apparently gold foil over dry desert tree wood makes a decent Leyden Jar--it must have built up quite an electric charge over the years. At least that's the rationalist explanation. I'll believe it when
Mythbusters
builds a gold-plated copy of the Ark of the Covenant according to the original detailed plans (see Leviticus) and measures the electric charge properly. I'd pay to see that episode ($1.99).

Wait, I thought the latest theory was that the stone tablets inside the Arc were made of some intensely radioactive Stone...not that radioactive decay works that way....

Actually its more with Zionism and the racist/ethnocentric/apartheid mindset that spawned and supports the ideology - which (in case you didn't notice) extends far beyond the borders of the Zionist State.
Hope that helps. :-)

And this article has no connection to Zionism. It does have a Jewish Rabbi who is apparently a thief, and it mentions Israel as one of the places he lied about. So apparently, I still don't get your position with respect to this article or why posting a picture that someone else posted and putting a tallis and menorah in it reflects your problem with Zionism and not Jews.
