Palestinians set fire to Joseph's Tomb

The IDF permitted hundreds of Jewish worshippers access to Joseph's Tomb in Nablus to pray at the shrine early Thursday.
Later the worshippers left in buses accompanied by IDF forces who guarded them throughout the visit.
Shortly after their departure a group of Palestinian youths arrived at the site and set fire to the shrine throwing burning tires inside the compound.
The local Palestinian fire brigade arrived and extinguished the flames.
It was the fourth time authorization was given to Jews to pray at the site since security forces were forced to leave the site in October 2000 as a Palestinian mob descended, ransacked and vandalized the holy site and prevented the evacuation of Border policeman Madhat Yusef who bled to death.
IDF officials said the approval was given to the worshippers because of the Succoth holiday. It was the largest group ever to be allowed to enter the area.
In the past three years, hundreds of Jews have snuck into the tomb to pray illegally despite a ban issued by the OC Central Command that forbids Israelis from entering areas under full Palestinian control.
In September, Palestinians shot at IDF paratroopers who had reached the site to evacuate a number of Jewish worshippers who arrived without permission to pray there.
Israeli security officials said the last time the army gave permission to a group of religious Jews was in July.
In the early morning hours the worshippers erected a Succa at the site and former Sephardic chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu led them in prayers.
How many Christians and Jews have muslims killed? (ask a dumb question and you get a dumb question)
What? No. Muslims killing Jews and Christians is par for the musselmen.
How many Muslims did the Orthodox send to the lions within the walls of Haga Sophia for the crime of having a different religion?
The answer is none. That was the point rhetorical I was trying to make. Or are you being rhetorical now?
I don’t know, would it revert to the Byzantine Church it once was before the Moslems "converted" it? I am beginning to wonder if the Moose-Slimes are capable of building anything for themselves. I cannot recall a single impressive structure they have built, or technological advance anywhere. Heck they have to steal planes to fly into buildings they cannot build. The fanciest building I have ever seen is a football stadium with no bleachers and a tent in the middle to pray to.
No wonder they desecrate everything in their hands, they can't build anything to compare either with their hands, or their culture. It must be a pretty shameful thing to them. And entire culture based on hatred and envy.
Good point!

Personally, I'm sick of this Pali crap. Israel should respond decisively to these moslem obscenities, reassert control over holy places rather than leave them in the hands of an anti-human death cult.
They have nothing to lose, since the rest of the dogpound known as the Middle East growls and snaps at them with murderous glee anyway.
You do realize this thread is 2 years old . . .
Now I do.
So take out 3 religious Palestinian sites.
You do realize this thread is 2 years old . . .
So what. I felt the same way two years ago.
