Jewish worshippers Tuesday were stunned to find Arabs had desecrated the graves of the Biblical Joshua, Caleb and Nun (Joshua’s father).
Joshua served as the Jewish Nation's Prime Minister from the year 2488 until 2516 on the Hebrew calendar (1272 BCE - 1300 BCE).
Members of the One Shechem organization that organizes visits to the graves arrived in the village of Timnat (Kifl) Haress, near Ariel in Samaria, to prepare for a special prayer gathering, discovered that Arab vandals had desecrated the village’s Jewish tombs. The tombs of Yehoshua (Joshua) ben Nun, Nun, and Calev (Caleb) ben Yefuneh were covered with garbage and feces – both human and animal, and anti-Semitic and Nazi slogans and symbols had been painted in the area.
Nevertheless, worshippers gathered at the tombs Tuesday night for special prayers on the tenth of Tevet, the day Kaddish and other prayers are recited for those whose date of death is unknown, such as Calev ben Yefuneh. Organizers had cleaned up the damage and attendees reported a positive experience.
The prayers were also to mark the end of the 30-day increased-stricture mourning period for murdered Jewish father Ido Zoldan of Kedumim, by a Palestinian Authority police officer.
Organizers reported that a wide array of Jews – hareidi, national religious and traditional – took part in the visit and prayers. They also praised the cooperation of security forces, particularly the Efraim Division of the IDF.
The One Shechem organization issued a call to the public to do everything in their power to preserve the holy sites in Samaria, including Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem and to fight for the right of Jews to visit and worship there freely.
"The only difference between "BC/AD" and "BCE/CE" is that the term Common Era does not use the religious titles for Jesus ("Lord" and "Christ") that are explicit in "Anno Domini" and "Before Christ". Originating among Christians at least as early as 1617 (at first in Latin),[7] Common Era notation has been adopted by many non-Christians, and also by some Christians wanting to be sensitive to non-Christians.[8] The use of BCE and CE has been criticized by some who favor the BC/AD system as being "the result of secularization" and "political correctness".[9]"
Actions speak louder than words.
I would have sworn that Joshua was considered a prophet, and that Muzzies honor ALL ‘prophets of the Book’.
Must have been secular Muzzies, and the P.A. & Hamas will hunt them down relentlessly, and punish them severely for their apostasy in the dishonering of a Holy Prophet. /sarc
So what does the common era signify?
:’D

Nothing says tolerance of other religions that islam. All the more reason Condoleeza should push to give the Temple mount and East Jerusalem to the PA state.
They’re demons straight from the hell of their father, satan.
Yeah, with an MOAB!
Why ANYONE thinks they can negotiate with such animals is beyond me.
Joshua and Caleb are particular heroes of mine. And I have to read stuff like this and no not a d@mn thing will be done about it while "Jewish leaders" worry themelves into nervous breakdowns over the "threat" of hillbillies with names like Joshua and Caleb and about discrimination against "gays" in Indiana.
How long, O L-rd???
I love how allegedly "religious" chr*stians, in suppressing the Biblical calendar enumeration, support evolution.
This is the year 5768 from Adam.

Palestinians/Muslims/Arabs...
they never remember what they stand to lose if there are punitive measures.
As in a few MOABs onto their most profitable sites.

Yes, I do; and stop calling me Shirley. It's really not much of an issue. I think I just wanted to point out that, from my perspective, it seems odd to use the date, but not the designation the date is founded upon.
Joshua and Caleb. Two of the greatest examples of faith, courage and strength in the Bible. They took the land for Yahweh so no wonder these fools would attempt to spit on their graves. BTW they may try to insult with their horrendous actions but they can’t take away Joshua and Caleb’s example and victories in the name of the Lord. That is written in history!
That said, clearly the destruction of the historical site is the more important.

Isn’t it interesting how many forget that our first experience of Islamofascist terrorism was in 1968 when a Palestinian jihadist named Sirhan Sirhan assassinated Robert Kennedy because he supported Israel in the Six Day War? I guess that’s just a case of selective amnesia.
