He said the Palestinian Authority, fearing embarrassment, immediately formed a joint committee from the PA's Force 17, Preventative Security Services and Palestinian intelligence, to find out who was behind the fire.

This is rich. They certainly don't fear lying their a$$es off.

But the Muzzies seem very, very anxious to destroy this tomb.<<<

That's because deep down they *know* that Joseph is still alive (the Northern House of Israel, that is) and is going to dispatch them all to allah soon enough. They are bugging out, knowing their time is short.

Joseph was presumed by Jacob to have been savagely attacked and killed by a wild animal (hmmm, not unlike the topic of the article), but came back from the dead (so to speak) to save Jacob and his entire family.

Joseph (Jacob also) was embalmed (i.e. preserved) in Egypt. The children of Israel carried Joseph's bones out of Egypt and buried them in Shechem. Something about those bones bother the Muzzies...

They cling to Bush's lying vision of a Pali state. Ezekiel has a true vision of a vast army... the *whole* House of Israel coming to life from a valley full of bones. It's not a happy sight from the Pali perspective.

Yes, I’m familiar with the Biblical version of the Joseph story, including the carrying of his bones back from Egypt. I’m just not sure what the Muslim story is, exactly, or whether they recognize that the tomb actually is Joseph’s tomb.

The Wahabbis who conquered Arabia and put the House of Saud in power destroyed a lot of purely Muslim artifacts when they swept in, because they thought they were idolatrous. Apparently they were only with difficulty prevented from destroying the tomb of Muhammed.

When vandals and iconoclasts get started, they may not even understand their own reasons for doing what they do.

Thanks for the ping.

[Ezekiel 37:19] Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

Yup....that's when the "you know what" will hit the fan!

We know for sure that Joseph’s burial wishes were Biblically noted for a reason.

He is there for an important reason. But it’s so very sad that as in his life, he continues to be attacked.

I guess we will have to wait for the full circle.

Shechem -- the city where Joseph was sold into slavery, which he later inherited and where he was buried -- is the place where redemption will begin with acts of violence and destruction.
