Thousands of Jews flooded Rachels Tomb in Bethlehem on Friday morning, the day before her Yahrtzeit (the anniversary of her death), in a clear and poignant reaction to the Palestinian resolution passed by UNESCO on Wednesday, declaring it a Muslim religious site. The actual anniversary is on the Sabbath, the 11th day of the Hebrew month Cheshvan. It is customary for worshippers to visit the site at this time, though Arab violence makes this dangerous and in extreme cases, notably during the 2000 intifada, Israeli security closes the site to Jews.
The multitude arriving today were not permitted to enter the city,

The world is trying to strip Israel of everything. This is awful and wrong. Watch out because God will not stand for it as they are his chosen people. And why are we allowing this to happen? Who is UNESCO what they have the power/right to take land away.

I am pretty sure Rachel was not of Ishmael. How could this be declared an Islamic holy site?

from it’s proselytizing inception , the vile cult of Islam has sought to usurp every and any ‘holy site’ from every culture and people that came before . Invading the countries and the cultures , murdering their clergy and priesthoods/monkhoods , forcibly converting the inhabitants or slaughtering them . Then building their own edifices atop the holiest of prior holy sites and claiming them for their own . In perpetuity .
Solution : Everywhere this has occurred in the world , Islamic structures should be dismantled or destroyed and the original structures restored to their original glory and purpose. ISLAM ( and muslims) are and have always been an occupying power and tyranny .
It’s time for the occupation of Islam in it’s non-native lands to be ended . First by invitation , and id entreaty is not received , then at the point of sword and bayonet .
It will never retreat by itself , it has to be beaten back . The Temple Mount is for Jews and should be 100% restored to the Jewish traditions . There should be no Haram al-Sharif . It’s just another typical example of Islamist physical plagiarism. Means nothing in reality .

Everything in Israel is being proclaimed a mussie holy site. They have Mecca and Medina, what do the Jews have?

Didn't read the title close enough, thought the thread was about Rachel the pancake girl.
Great minds think alike FRiend, I too thought the article (based on the headline) was about that naive dead leftist Rachel Corrie.
However to paraphrase Rahm Emmanuel, "never let the thought of a dead leftist go to waste"
Thus ... to the tune of 'The Edmund Fitzgerald' ...
THE DEATH of the FLAT RACHEL CORRIE
The legend lives on from Palestinians on down
Of the big thing they call a bulldozer
The dozer, its said, always flattens its dead
When the left wing protesters turn looney.
With a carbon steel frame sixty-two metric tons more
Than the flat Rachael Corrie weighed empty.
The blade it is true is a thing to be feared
When the treads of the dozer start rolling.
The Cat was the pride of the Israeli side
Coming back from some hill in the Gaza
As the big dozers go, it was bigger than most
With a diesel of four hundred horses
Concluding some berms with a couple of quick turns
When they left fully fueled up for Rafah
When later that day her megaphone sang
Could it be that dumb bitch they was hearin?
The dirt in the treads made a tattle-tale sound
As the mud broke over the blading
And every man knew, as Miss Corrie did too,
Twas a big Caterpillar come dozin.
The blade came down and the dumb twit stood her ground
When the D9 bulldozer came plowin.
Devoid of good sense and ignoring all risk
She turned her back on the oncoming dozer.
When it finally came, the dumb bitch kept her place sayin
Surely, theyll stop what theyre doing.
Under the tread her air pathway caved in, she said
Dammit, this shouldnt have happened!
Her friends called in that the blonde bitch was down,
And the bomb laden house was in peril.
And later that day when her lights went outta sight
Came the death of the flat Rachael Corrie.
Does any one know where the sense of libs go
When the blade turns the minutes to hours?
The soldiers all say shed have got out okay
If shed put fifteen more feet behind her.
She might have been crushed or she might have split wide,
May have broke ribs and her bladder.
And all that remains is the traces and the stains
Of her imprint, the tread tracks and splatter.
Arafat stews, Hizbollah spews
From the rooms of their compounds in Gaza.
The ISM screams like a spoiled preteen
They voice their support for the terror.
And dont we all know, when the buses explode
Theyll march out their apologists willing,
Now activists go as the drivers all know
With the big caterpillars remembered.
In a musty old room in Ramallah they prayed,
In the ISM office of terror.
The door bell chimed till it rang seventy-two times
For each tread on the big Caterpiller.
The legend lives on from Palestinians on down
Of the big thing they call a bulldozer.
The dozer, they said, always flattens its dead
When left wing protestors turn looney!

...Rachel, who died on the way back to the Promised Land, was buried on the wayside in Bethelehem, not next to Jacob who is in the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hevron.
The Jewish people have always prayed at her grave, and when exiled to Babylon, passed it and called for her to pray for their redemption.
The midrash says that she showed the Almighty how she helped her sister and asked Him to forgive the slights His people caused him in the same fashion as she did. Jeremiah gives the answer in [Jeremiah] Chapter 31, as G-d tells her not to cry for her sons, because they will one day return...

If Rachel’s tomb is a Muslim “holy site,” I wonder if the UN can explain how Rachel became a Muslim many hundreds of years before Muhammed was a gleam in his father’s eye.
