After more than a month with no Jewish visitors allowed, over 1,500 Jews on Sunday night went to Kever Yosef (Josephs Tomb) in Shechem (Nablus) located in Samaria to pray at the grave of the Jewish patriarch from the Torahonly to find it vandalized.
The Jewish visitors discovered that the electric system of the tomb compound was destroyed, with light bulbs and fluorescent light fixtures smashed, leaving the Tomb in utter darkness.
In an almost symbolic act hearkening to the Hanukkah story in which the Maccabees rededicated the Second Temple with light after the Greek occupiers desecrated it, the visitors lifted the darkness at the Tomb by lighting a massive hanukkiya (holiday candelabrum) for the sixth night of Hanukkah.

Probably the work of a mentally disturbed lone wolf with a troubled past.

Nothing to do with the religion of peace, of course.

Wherever God manifests Himself in our world, count on the adversary's blind, bedraggled followers to camp out all over the top. Joseph, and his son's, Abraham and Sarah, all the patriarchs, all the father's are safe, and I doubt even the substance of their millennia-old bones has been molested at anytime.
God willing, I sincerely look forward to long talks with these saints, sooner rather than later.
Creation cries out for the manifestation of the sons of our God.
All flesh is grass, and is as the glory of the pastures. The grass withers, the flower thereof falls away, but the Word our our God stands forever.

Muslims kill, blowup, rape, destroy, maim, steal, disfigure, protest, burn, run over, stab and beat other Muslims and their shrines. They slaughter each other while the West ho-hums it's way to barbarism.
They say Joseph (Yasuf) was one of their prophets, so, in keeping with that great long line of “civilised” Muslim behavior, they...destroy.
This is what they know how to do.
This is what they do best.
This is what they are really good at.
Why should we be surprised.
While Europe is rushing ahead to recognize another Muslim failed state, one that does not exist (Paleostine), they are being attacked, in Sydney, London, Paris, Malmo and a host of other European cities...
Wake up.

...and those that think living side-by-side with moslems would be a peaceful venture are lying to themselves...
This is what Islam does - it destroys - and does nothing more...
