The 2,000-year-old Jobar Synagogue in the Syrian capital of Damascus was looted and burned to the ground.
The Syrian army loyal to President Bashar Assad and rebel forces are blaming each other for the destruction of the historic synagogue
...
The Jobar synagogue was built atop a cave that, according to tradition, was used by the prophet Elijah to conceal himself from prosecution. The synagogue is said to have been built by Elijah's successor, the prophet Elisha, and repaired during the first century by Eleazar ben Arach.

My money is on the rebel forces doing it.
Although, it is plausible that it could be a “Reichstag Fire.”

If it was a mosque the muzzies would be rioting and burning and killing all over the place.

Typical. They will rewrite history just like “1984” if you let them.

At least the Nazi’s were real sharp dressers. Get around a muzzie, he stinks like camel dung. There’s no camel in sight. These folks need to be collar and leashed just like rabid dogs.

I wonder if that is where Saul was headed when he was struck blind on the road to Damascus.

No offense meant here. They are blowing up imams and mosques too. And there is rioting and burning and killing all over the place.
I hear it is almost as bad as ramadan.

Does prove that all these lands should be returned to the Jewish people for safekeeping. Look at the bloody mess the Arabians have made of it!

This will get no play in the media, but throw just ONE Koran in a urinal, and watch the MSM go crazy.

The address is on a street called straight in arabic. That must be why the crazy mujde decided to loot and destroy it. Only monkeys and apes go there.
