The US Administration has warned Israel against demolishing the Arab village of Susiya in south Mt. Hebron, according to a story in Ha’aretz this week. Both Israeli and American senior officials have warned that should Israel go ahead and demolish the village, US response would be harsh.
Susiya is a legitimate archaeological site in the southern Judean Mountains that bears the archaeological remains of a 5th century CE enormous synagogue, one of the largest and most magnificent ever discovered, which was turned into a mosque by the Arab invaders in the 8th century.
The name has bee usurped by Bedouins who have stayed in area caves during grazing season. It is also the name of a religious Jewish community established in 1983 under the jurisdiction of Mt. Hebron Regional Council. In 1986, the area of Susiya claimed by the Bedouin shepherds was declared an archeological site by Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), and the IDF expelled the Bedouins, who then moved a few hundred yards southeast of the original location.

Frustrated Nazis. Not a pretty sight. Hitler’s waiting for them in Hell. Meanwhile, please pray for America. We are definitely NOT in good hands. That’s for sure !
The US State Dept freaks out over a few tents.
It’s a historic site that should be excavated by archeologists.

The article last me at 5th century CE.
And, tearing down a mythical town, is that like a virtual town?
Here’s the compromise: take the Palestinian flags and the tents away from the synagogue so archeologists can begin work.
When do Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Eric show up, and when do they kill Kenny, and who kills him?
