Update to Attack at Kever Joseph

Not the 1st Time!

Just hours after the attack on worshipers praying at Kever Joseph, Arutz 7 reported that a large number of Arabs descended on the tomb. 

The Arabs were burning tires and holding torches, to  try to burn the building down. Smoke could be seen rising as the desecration took place--not the first time they have done so. 

Meanwhile a witness was in the vehicle shot at said that it was clear that the PA police were shooting to kill. “They fired several long rounds at our cars, and yelled 'Allahu Akhbar.' There is no doubt they were shooting to kill us”.

Limor Livnat

The murder victim, who is named as 24-year-old Ben Yosef Chai, is the nephew of Likud Minister Limor Livnat. She said that “Ben Yosef Livnat was a young man who wanted only to pray at the Tomb of Joseph on the Passover holiday, and was murdered in cold blood." 

Ben Yosef Chai is to be buried Sunday afternoon, several hours before the beginning of the last day of the seven-day Passover holiday. He leaves behind four orphans...Baruch Dayan HaEmet

To the shame of our government there has been little comment  from either the PM or Defense Minister other than to label the attack and murder of Jews as an "incident".

Yaakov Katz

MK Yaakov Katz called on Israelis to remember that it was Israel that that first armed the PA rifles as part of the ill-fated Oslo Accords, signed in 1993. Livnat’s name is added to “the long list of 1,500 Jews who have been slaughtered by PA weapons.” MK Katz added.

The Shomron (Samaria) Residents Committee released the following: “The murder this morning at Joseph's Tomb illustrates the danger of relying on the Palestinian police. Every Palestinian policeman is a potential terrorist whose hatred of Jews is always present".

ML Ze'ev Elkin

Likud MK Ze’ev Elkin and National Union MK Aryeh Eldad stated:

“There can be no room for any concession on the need for total control and freedom of the IDF's full cooperation in all regions of Judea and Samaria.”

The Human Rights Organization of Judea and Samaria declared that the murder provides further proof that contradicts all claims that the Palestinian Authority is ready to become an independent country. 

As long as the PA retains the clause in their constitution calling for the demise of Isreal, as long as the PA honour terrorists who kill Jews, as long as the  PA groom children from birth via TV, song and education to hate and murder Jews-, as long as the PA stands by while Jewish Holy Sites are desecrated...The "Palestinians" will never be a peace partner with Israel.
