“His projects with James Tabor on the family tomb of Jesus have been absolutely excoriated by everyone (except for a very few uninformed dilettantes).”
What part of the projects would you be talking about? The tomb, the ossuaries, or the inscriptions on the ossuaries. Jacobovici didn’t even do the excavation. But if you are talking about the archeology that was done and recorded, it is basically the tomb, the ossuaries, and the inscriptions. So are you saying that Frank Cross, Wolfgang Krumbein, and James Tabor are a few dilettantes?
“If it ever comes to the point that film makers with financial clout (or magazine publishers for that matter) can hush the mouths of honest academics simply striving to inform the public of the facts, the only ones to blame will be the silent scholars.”
Aren’t we again talking about the tomb, the ossuaries, and the inscriptions on them? They indeed are authentic according to objective and scientific archeology. They are what scientists call THE FACTS. But they don’t jive with a subjective non-factual religion and there are plenty of wealthy organizations, wealthy people, and clerics who will have much less money and influence among the uneducated masses if they become educated. Honest academics don’t try to silence the facts even when they don’t agree with their religion. A logical synopsis can be found here:

End of comment.
What we have here is the last gasp of a cleric, out of desperation, attacking the person, Simcha Jacobovici, because he either doesn't understand science or understands it well enough to see the public is reaching critical mass in understanding science and is rejecting the Hellenist fantasy as a viable alternative to their Torah. Thank the Ruler of the Universe that the nearly two thousand year old lie of Roman Hellenism and all of it's offspring has come to an end.
