Revealed: PA's plan to build neighborhood on Joshua's Altar
Arutz Sheva ^ | 12/1/23

Official documents from the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Local Authorities which was obtained by the the "The Forum for the Struggle for Every Dunam" reveal a construction plan for dozens of lots on the area of the ancient Altar of Joshua on Mount Ebal.

According to the plan, dozens of permanent homes will be built on most of the altar wall, and will practically connect the outskirts of the city of Nablus and the Askar refugee camp to Mount Ebal.

According to the plan, the altar itself will remain a public park, which will be surrounded by Arab houses that will be built on the wall itself and the rest of the area of the archaeological site which is an integral part of the Biblical site.

The 'Forum for the Struggle for Every Dunam' stated: "According to the plans, most of the area of the site - including all the historical artifacts where it is going to be will be razed to gravel, and also the part that is left for disposal will be destroyed in a short time and completely out of Israeli control following the construction of the neighborhood that will swallow it up and prevent access to the place."

And the Jewish State, by its Civil Authority, is going to let it happen?

If Joshua were here, he'd know exactly what to do with these upstarts, both Jewish and Arab.

In his day Joshua called on Israel to choose between the Lord or the idols of the land. New idols, same choice, and most are choosing wrong.

“According to the plan, the altar itself will remain a public park, which will be surrounded by Arab houses...”

Perfect, so the Palis can throw rocks at visitors without even leaving their porches!

This is what the Arab Muhammadans do, claim some random piece of land as a holy site, then defy you to tell them it isn’t.

There are more “Abraham’s Wells” in Arabia, places the Muhammadans have labeled a holy site because Abraham (allegedly) watered his flock there, than there are McDonald’s in the US.

After I’d been to about a dozen of them, it occurred to me that “Abraham’s Well” is the Muhammadan’s equivalent of “George Washington Slept Here.” It doesn’t matter that they have no proof (other than some obscure and non-specific reference in the Quran [as is the case with Mecca]), what does matter is you can’t prove they’re wrong. And it doesn’t matter whether there’s water there or not, they’ll just claim the waterhole has since dried up.

Just like GW Slept Here, it’s good for the tourist trade. They’ll even claim that pilgrims wouldn’t be coming there to pray if it weren’t the real deal (= circular logic).

This is the Palestinian Authority’s efforts to create a Fourth Reich, “BiDen Frei” of both people and evidence that they ever existed.

After all, Abbas is an open admirer of Hitler justice Nasser was re his dreams of wiping Israel off the map.

History warns us of the “Repetition of Evil” which we ignore at out peril.

At least the Israelies have the guts to change history. Do we?

Spelchek is still screwing up my comments.

It is “Juden Frei” -Jew Free. Other errors too.

Here they’re desecrating an actual holy site.

“Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; cast aside the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!” — Joshua 24, 14-15

It had to happen multiple times because significant bits of Israel kept choosing wrong.
