| Burying Rachel’s Tomb |
Over the past several years, the Palestinians have been trying very hard to make Rachel’s Tomb disappear • Using deceit, they have succeeded in convincing UNESCO that Rachel’s Tomb is actually a mosque built to commemorate the Prophet Mohammed’s first muezzin • Meanwhile, historical documentation and hundreds of thousands of Jews who remain loyal to Rachel’s Tomb hinder the attempt to turn it into a Muslim site.

The history of Rachel’s Tomb is under attack by Palestinians.

It is doubtful whether any other place between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River illustrates the concept of self-defense that has trickled into Israel’s security mindset as well as Rachel’s Tomb. The formerly picturesque site is engraved in the memory of many people as a stone building with a dome on top and an ancient olive tree in front of it, on the road between Jerusalem and Hebron.
Although Rachel’s Tomb has been depicted that way in countless art works, stamps and holy books, not a shred of that nostalgic image remains today. Israel’s defense establishment wiped it out, wrapping the ancient site in a robe of concrete and cement.
We all know what muslims do to other religion’s sacred sites & statues, they destroy them and re-write history…………
Crush the head of the octopus in Saudi-Arabia.
Ah, but the facts and evidence of the Jewish origin aren’t important. Emotions, vitriol, and rage are what motivate Islamists and international leftist bureaucrats–never the facts.
Only fear of hell makes evil people respect the facts.
