"Archaeological sites in Israel looted by Palestinians"

I guess there are too many sites for the Iraeli police to keep their eyes on all of them.  But Oren R., the author of this article and  the photos,  is doing his best to make the Israeli public and the rest of the people aware of what is happening to these historical sites.

Sadly there is a big market for these stolen items.  The buyers are the grasping tourists that like the idea of taking home with them a part of history.  The shop keepers that sell these illegally gotten items are in partnership with the criminals that sell them these vases, coins, glass bottles and other object that they steal.  The tourists and others that buy these stolen items are playing havoc with their personal karma.  Most of these items are stolen from graves.  It is not a good idea to take something from a country that is considered stolen goods.

Even the great museums of the world are loaded to the rafters with historic items looted from all over the world.  These items should be returned to the country and place of their origin.  A dreadful example of this are the ancient marble statues that were taken from Greece. 

I suggest that if someone wants a souvenir that they take a photo or buy something actually made in Israel for people to  purchase and to remember their visit to the Holy Land.
