I agree. I just added that to show the so called respect they have for other faiths and their holy shrines.They think Joseph was a Muslim, just like they think Jesus and Moses were.sadly things have escalated. A soldier was shot guarding Joseph's tomb
Soldier shot while guarding visit to Joseph’s Tomb
Not about who they thing Joseph was or was not, it the change in behavior towards Israelis and jews again.
They can live side by side, but something triggers these spurs of violence and escalation.
This was not some random shooting, like there really is such a thing over there, but it involved riots, rocks and molotovs as well. This was planned.
Both sides suffer when these thing happen.
Till I can find out more I don't know if this was to effect elections, stop them or just out right stupidity of a the tit for tat in gaza recently. All or non of the above.
This was not necessary and foolishly palestinians will take the brunt and blame everyone else for what a few of the fellows have done.
I'm still, after so long, looking for ways to stop the cycle.
I know
I will probably be the same till the day I die.
I keep looking for hope even in the ashes but I can't will peace into existence, and even less so after so long and from so far away. I guess I will always wish I could have done more and somehow life can return to or become better than it was.

Hamas operatives were arrested in the West Bank. The suspects were taken in for questioning.
Under the 1993 Oslo Accords, Joseph's tomb was to remain under Israeli control. The Israeli army evacuated the premises in October 2000 during the second intifada and it was burnt down by Palestinians.
Jewish worshipers, in coordination with the Israel Defense Forces, make monthly nocturnal pilgrimages to the site, which was renovated and restored. The site was torched and vandalized in October 2015 and has since been restored. <<
This is an old trick, economy is bad, terrorist leaders cannot deliver on their promises, so people want their leaders removed and the regime changed. So the leaders start a violence and propaganda campaign against Israel to divert the people's attention. It has been happening in most middle eastern countries for the last 50 years.
