Arabs Desecrate Grave of Biblical Prime Minister Joshua
Arutz Sheva ^ | December 19, 2007 | Ezra HaLevi

Posted on 12/19/2007 12:09:27 PM PST by West Coast Conservative

Jewish worshippers Tuesday were stunned to find Arabs had desecrated the graves of the Biblical Joshua, Caleb and Nun (Joshua’s father).

Joshua served as the Jewish Nation's Prime Minister from the year 2488 until 2516 on the Hebrew calendar (1272 BCE - 1300 BCE).

Members of the One Shechem organization that organizes visits to the graves arrived in the village of Timnat (Kifl) Haress, near Ariel in Samaria, to prepare for a special prayer gathering, discovered that Arab vandals had desecrated the village’s Jewish tombs. The tombs of Yehoshua (Joshua) ben Nun, Nun, and Calev (Caleb) ben Yefuneh were covered with garbage and feces – both human and animal, and anti-Semitic and Nazi slogans and symbols had been painted in the area.

Nevertheless, worshippers gathered at the tombs Tuesday night for special prayers on the tenth of Tevet, the day Kaddish and other prayers are recited for those whose date of death is unknown, such as Calev ben Yefuneh. Organizers had cleaned up the damage and attendees reported a positive experience.

The prayers were also to mark the end of the 30-day increased-stricture mourning period for murdered Jewish father Ido Zoldan of Kedumim, by a Palestinian Authority police officer.

Organizers reported that a wide array of Jews – hareidi, national religious and traditional – took part in the visit and prayers. They also praised the cooperation of security forces, particularly the Efraim Division of the IDF.

The One Shechem organization issued a call to the public to do everything in their power to preserve the holy sites in Samaria, including Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem and to fight for the right of Jews to visit and worship there freely.

The Amalekstinian heathen did it again....ping! Recall how they desecrated Joseph’s tomb a few years ago. These buzzards are beyond low, beyond common, beyond.....they are just plain damn ugly, nasty, ornery, and evil.

Most Israelis are secularists, non-believers.

I thought the exact same thing.

Joshua was not a "prime minister" - he was a divinely appointed general/leader.

I never liked “AD”, I prefer “the year of our Lord” as is used in our Constitution.

I've never seen any research or polling that would support that.

...so why should we use that abbreviation any more than you’d use the Islamic calendar for dates?

"What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." - Shakespeare

You change what "BC" stands for but you can't change what it means. It's a meaningless protest to use Christ as the hinge of history around which the world's predominant calendar swings... and ignore Christ Himself. All you do with this is give the secularists another idea of how to push our society more to their liking... and I promise you it won't be to yours.

I had to do a double check on the date to make sure I wasn’t missing something - like some P.M. that died in 1953! And wasn’t Joshua a marching band leader?

We don’t. BCE is understood to mean “before the common era” and CE means Common Era. Anno Domini isn’t a comfortable phrase for those of us who don’t recognize Jesus as Dominus (or the Son of Dominus), and of course we’re equally uncomfortable with Before Christ inasmuch as the latter word means Messiah in Greek.

Every time I see that picture, I always wonder if the arabs realize they are worshipping a giant vagina.

I was basing that on what friends have told me . . . googled and saw that around 49% go to synagogue, 51% do not.
