Remembering Joseph's Tomb
The recent events surrounding the Temple Mount are well documented. The Moslem outrage over the new "Jewish Plot" to destroy al-Aqsa is off the decibel meter. Of course, as you can see here, their claims are totally unfounded. There is no such plan. The Jews respect the holy sites of others. Every church and mosque in Israel is protected.
What the Palestinians fear is that the Israelis will treat Moslem "holy places" in the same manner that the Ishmaelites treat Jewish holy sites. As a reminder, I bring you Joseph's Tomb, located in the West Bank town of Shechem. Joseph died in Egypt, before the Exodus; some 3500 years ago. His body was carried all the way from Egypt in order to be buried in the Holy Land. Over the past 3000 years, his grave has been a landmark in Israel. Jews have traveled from the four corners of the earth to say a prayer at this holy place.
In October 2000, as part of the Oslo Accords, the city of Shechem was turned over to the Palestinian Authority. The Accords stated that until a final agreement was reached, Joseph's Tomb was to remain under Israeli control. That wasn't good enough for the Pals who invaded and destroyed the holy site. The heartbreaking pictures follow below.
This is an example of Islamic respect for holy places. Not one Arab leader or country condemned this behavior. But then again, you wouldn't expect them to. This is Islam. Religion of the damned.

jay - i am comforted in knowing the G-d of israel will NOT stand for this much longer. the truth cannot forever be hidden no matter how much some wish it to be.
i'd hate to be on the receiving end of the judgment these cretins are mustering for themselves.
allah, my arse!
I was not aware of this, but it does not surprise me. Islam plays by no rules, but uses the liberty and goodness of free nations against them. Great post. I agree with the previous commenter, the judgment for Islam will be hell to pay (pun intended).
The whole point of the al-aqsa mosque in the first place was to plant a big, permanent middle finger on top of the holiest place in Jerusalem.
Before the city was sacked by invading Arab armies in 638, the city was mainly populated by Armenian Christians. The monument on where the temple once stood has large, obvious inscriptions around the inside of the dome, which say "ALLAH DOES NOT HAVE ANY ASSOCIATES OR PARTNERS, AND HE DOES NOT BEGET NOR WAS HE BEGOTTEN."
Islam accepts all the personalities of the Bible as holy.
The desecration of Joseph's tomb is all the more odd beause not one Moslem leader or cleric raised a voice of protest.
I guess hatred overcomes holiness.
interesting article here, jay.
Nanc,
Thanks for the article. Just proves what the moslem aim in jerusalem is.. erase and destroy anything Jewish about the city and conquer it in the name of islam.
Douglas,
A lot of people are unaware due to the lack of MSM coverage. They have a hard time reporting something that shows islam for what it really is.
Naim,
Hatred doesn't overcome holiness, it precludes it. Islam's silence on this matter condones the act. Islam precludes holiness.
I don't know, I used to be brainwashed, a muslim, and lived among many jew haters. I heard many of conspiracy theories and stories about how bad the jews are. but believe me even those nasty stories, are never comparable to the disgust I see of what many palestinians do.
I m no longer muslim. and no longer believe in these theories. but imagine all the propoganda never reach the disgust of the islamists.
Ali,
I am very glad you saw the light. Welcome to the civilized world.
amazing post and pics Jay..thank u for shedding some more light in the darkness my friend!
Happy Presidents Day!..)
Disgusting beyond words.
Bastards. Wish somebody'd desecrate their holy sites so they'd understand how it feels. Oh, wait... they don't feel, apparently... they're incapable of empathy.
And I'd point out that this is the first I've ever heard of this desecration of Joseph's grave. In fact, never did I see in the MSM any mention that this is Joseph's grave. Apparently weak people, leftists, Dhimmis, stupid people... only respect people who aim to kill them unless they drop trou and allow the Muzis to do as they please to them and such...
Respect us JudeoChristians? 'Course not- to do so would offend the Muzis. And the homosexuals, too. Not to mention the atheists or just about anyone who complains...
Someday things will change. Someday.
This stuff just makes me mad...
Besides, didn't Arafat reject the Oslo Accord? If so, then why did the Muzis get a thing out of it?
Brooke,
Correct. Too disgusting for prime time, so MSM just chooses to ignore it. After all, if they don't broadcast it, it didn't really happen.
Cansen,
The muzzies got so much because of US pressure and more importantly a hallucinagenic left wing Israeli government. Sharon and Olmert still refuse to learn.
Just wait till y'all get a true warrior for a leader in Israel. The Muzis will then begin to sweat, tremble and mess the seats of their pants... kind of hard to wage jihad with a load in one's drawers, I imagine... and the IDF'll smell them from miles away, or at least a few more miles further away than usual... LOL
Imagine the outrage if a Moslem holy site were desecrated... We'd NEVER hear the end of it in the MSM!
You're right, Jay; this went right under the rug.
CanSen,
I am ready to be that warrior. Kick ass, take names and evict the Phallicstinians across the river.
Brooke,
The MSM is going crazy now, even when nothing has been desecrated. MSM= Moslem Sensitive Media
I am afraid that the article is totally off base, re al aqsa. the pals KNOW that nothing will be done to their "holy sites" by the Israelies or any other civilized nation or religion. Its just more appeals to the left via MSM seeking sympathy, and victim status which is of course, freely given ( MSN interview "Meet poor achmed, victim of zionist American agression, who is suffering greatly from a burned hand, which he didnt move fast enough while launching his missle agains a school full of israeli children")
islamists have always perpetrated such desecrations where ever they go, from india to spain.
My 11 yr old daughter wanted info on Joseph's tomb and burial place after reading scriptures. We were led to your blog this am on 7/10/09Hate is so ugly, destructive, and unproductive. Why are Jews and Christians forced to accept and tolerate other beliefs and yet are not tolerated ourselves? Certain religions have become fads in the wake of what is happening in our world-Muslim being one. You'd think they would have negative publicity, but the media makes victims of the greater population of Muslims.
