The Jordanian government has asked the United Nations to help it take the Dead Sea Scrolls from Israel.
Jordan last week filed a complaint with UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, claiming that Israel stole the 900 ancient religious text fragments from an East Jerusalem museum during the Six-Day War in 1967.
A Jordanian antiquities official said in a statement that Jordan has documents to prove it owns the scrolls. — jta

I bet those must be 2,000 years old deeds (writted in Hebrew)to transfer their ownership to the arab squatters in the years of 1940’s and 1950’s.. How pathetic
