Hmmm ... wasn’t it in Shecum that more than a few foreskins were detatched from their ‘hosts’ in retribution before being murdered?

Some of us still refer to Nablus as Arab-occupied Shechkem.

Are there any “Palestinian cities”, or are they Israelli cities Palestinians live in?

This is where I tell the story of the time I took a shard of slate and etched on it, in Paleo-Hebraic Script, “Jehoshuah poh” (Joshuah was here) and gave it to my OT professor at seminary while earnestly (with many nods and looking right into his eyes and not laughing) claiming I had found it at Jericho.

He started his next lecture by showing it to the class.

I wonder why the Romans moved the town to a new site. This wasn’t a normal practice of Roman occupations as far as I can remember. They weren’t averse to starting new towns, but this article says they abandoned the old city site.

Bad water source? Ghosts? Terrible refuse and sewage problem?

Working on an urban lot that long served residents of Nablus as an unofficial dump for garbage and old car parts

Delightful.
