Joseph's Tomb in Nablus

This is one of those situations that has been on my thoughts for sometime, because I have always felt it was an atrocity.

One should never destroy or desecrate a religious site and this goes also for Joseph's Tomb in Nablus.

Without any questions or need for negotiations this religious site should be returned as a sacred site for both Jews, Muslims and Christians, as it was before it was put under attack by Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization in 2000 (when it was still under Yasser Arafat's leadership); with them desecrating this site for it to appear to look like a trash dump, I am very saddened to say.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton gave the initial orders for the attack on Joseph’s tomb with the aid of the PLO or Fatah terrorist organization (which is Abbas's terrorist organization), at the time for an undisclosed reason, was reported.

Situations like this always reminds one, that we should never forget to respect not only a person’s religion, places of religious worship or the person themselves and that know one should ever desecrate a religious site for what ever reason.
