Artifacts from Syrian synagogue end up in Israel
2018-06-18
[PRESSTV] Artifacts from the ancient Jobar synagogue in Damascus' Eastern Ghouta suburb have been smuggled out of Syria and surfaced elsewhere, including in Israel, activists say.

Local activists said the artifacts had been put into safety back in 2013 to avoid theft and damage by Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
terrorists, but Syrian officials discovered later that some of the items had disappeared.

The first missing cache, which contained torahs, tapestries and chandeliers, was given to the Faylaq al-Rahman murderous Moslem group by Jobar's local council for safe keeping earlier this year, according to the activists.

However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
the murderous Moslem outfit later said that it was not in possession of the objects taken from the Jobar synagogue, also known as Eliyahu Hanaviuntil synagogue.

The second cache, the activists said, had been stolen in 2014 by a Syrian guardian entrusted by the local council to hide the items from the synagogue.

Hassan al-Dimashqi, who lived near the synagogue until March, said, "Some of the items that went missing in 2014 and this year have started surfacing now in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire....
He also quoted some local officials as saying that the man, who stole the second cache, reached Europe
...also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and the artifacts he had taken ended up in Israel.

Dimashqi further said that some of the items entrusted with the Faylaq al-Rahman murderous Moslems, including carpets, chandeliers and historical scripts, have surfaced in Turkey. The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also confirmed the information.

In March, Syria filed an official complaint with the UN, accusing Israel of stealing valuable artifacts from the Jobar synagogue in cooperation with Turkey and terrorist groups.
