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.
Nearly all of the Things which make Pappa Proud [G_d]...have been left to rot by Israel...they simply were not into the Vision like the Lord was.
Grace..Grace...good thing the Almighty made Covenant with Avrahm..cuz the way the Jew sniffs at his own heritage is near unforgivable.
Can you hear the broken heart of G_D Crying in the Ancient Hebrew books..."I Gave you everything..called you Mine Own..above all peoples"..."All that I asked was you would remember me..and tell your neighbour of my Love",
But as usuall..Israel would not be to prompted by this kind of thinking track..nope.."We want to be like others"!
Hevron Tossed to the Savages...**Thankyou Binyamin Netanyahu and the Oslo Jew/anti-Jews..[Or Jews traumatized at the awarnesss that they are Jews].
Yup..Big Jewish Banking houses....Insurance .reinsurance..the Diamond Jews...Money like you never saw or imagined...just swimming in money,
meanwhile..Palestinian savages roll tires into Josephs tomb.
Its a blurr now folks..a great lie.
I can hear the Creator's cry ..and sympathize in the pain .
"Oh Israel...what have I done that you should treat me so cheaply"
Judaism discourages conversion of gentiles to Judaism (though it allows it after the person has been discouraged three times), but there is a Jewish mission to impose the Seven Laws of the Sons of Noah on all mankind. In fact (as I understand it), during Milchemet Gog uMagog all non-Jews will be given the choice of acceptance of this code or death. RaMBa"M deals with this in the Mishneh Torah in Seifer HaMelakhim uMilchamoteyhem ("The Book of the Kings and their Wars").
For most of the past two thousand years (first under pagan Rome and then under chr*stendom) Jews were punished severely if they converted anyone. For this reason Jews have largely forgotten their mission to non-Jews and some even seem to think that Judaism actually teaches the validity of all religions (as do certain Iranian religions, such as bahai and zoroastrianism).
Jews most certainly do believe in Olam Habah (the afterlife).
Here's what it looked like when the Turks and the Jordanians were in charge:
Not sure. How many protestants died because they refused to believe that the eucharistic host was the literal body of Christ?
