JERUSALEM (VINnews) – Palestinian Arab vandals entered Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem Monday night, smashing the ner tamid  in the tomb and the shed surrounding it and cutting off electric power at the site. The vandals were apparently protesting the Israeli military operation in Jenin.

According to reports, the remainder of the tomb was left intact.

The tomb is under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority, which is responsible for maintaining and protecting the holy site. The site has suffered several severe vandalizations during the two decades since the IDF transferred responsibility to the PA.

The head of the Samaria Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, has been in contact since the report of the vandalism with the Commander of the Samaria Brigade, Col. Shimon Siso.

Dagan said in shock, “Once again we discover that only the State of Israel and the IDF can protect Joseph’s Tomb, one of the holy places for the people of Israel.”

“The abandonment of Joseph’s Tomb by Ehud Barak 23 years ago was one of the cowardly and irresponsible acts committed by the State of Israel. Time to correct it. The terrorist Palestinian Authority will not be the one to guard the holy places of Israel,” he added.

How the low life and degenerate government of Israel handed it over to the Arabs to have access to it, and even worse, complete control of it, is just mind boggling. This should anger every Jew, and mass protests should ensue until it’s taken/given back to the Jewish people.

How do we know that this place is the real place of Yosef’s Kever? We know that Aroinoi Shel Yosef always used to kill all fighters that wanted to harm us.
Something doesn’t add up.

The IDF “transfered responsibility” by way of an order (by PM Ehud Barak?) to their soldiers, at the tomb, to leave immediately, since they were under attack. A Druze Border Guard, named Yusef, was left to bleed to death. The “Second Intifada” then raged onward for another few years, killing thousands; but when 2 Border Guards were killed in Kotel Tunnels uprising, 4 years earlier, PM Natantahu was steadfast, and no further bloodshed ensued.

The truth is, as it always was, that if not for Zionism and the State of Israel, then Joseph’s tomb (and the entire area) wouldn’t need any protection.

As well, Joseph’s tomb is not holy to the State of Israel, as the State of Israel is Zionist which is all about uprooting Judaism and turning it and the Jews into godless pagan land-based Nationalist/Zionist idolaters.

The Romans desecrated and burned down the Bais Hamikdosh and we were kicked out of the entire Eretz Yisroel. On this we cry על הר ציון ששמם שועלים הלכו בו.

True Torah observing Jews who believe every word in the Torah and the Torah tells us that Eretz Yisroel were given to Klal Yisroel with conditions and if we wont obey Hashem will take it away are not shocked by what the Palestinian Goyim do. They don’t have a Torah and its part of our Golus to see what Goyim do with our holy sites.

We are however appalled that Millions of secular Jews are living as full fledge Goyim in the holy place Eretz Yisroel in Hashem’s kingdom desecrating the entire Torah.

But for those who feel that the Torah forbidden state of Israel is the Geualh for them the vandalization of Josephs tomb by the Palestinians are appalling.
