The Waqf Has A Religion Problem

WAFA Via IMRA:-

Hebron WAFA - ...The director of the Waqf al-Khalil Zaid Al-Jabari, told WAFA, 'The Israeli occupation authorities prevented the calling for prayer in the Ibrahimi Mosque 68 and time for prayer, claiming inconvenience the settlers who are in the occupied part of the Haram al-Sharif'.

Jabari denoubced these arbitrary actions that affect the houses of worship, and considered it 'an encroachment on the divine religions, and
freedom of worship guaranteed by laws and international laws', stressing the deliberate policy of programmed step to escalate Israel, in order to tighten control and control all pillars of the Temple of the ears, and restorations'.

He stressed that the Haram al-Ibrahimi Mosque is exclusively a Palestinian Islamic affair and Jews have no right to intervene.

Really? No right?

The Cave of Machpelah is the world's most ancient Jewish site and the second holiest place for the Jewish people, after Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The cave and the adjoining field were purchased—at full market price—by Abraham some 3700 years ago. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah are all later buried in the same Cave of Machpelah. These are considered the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Jewish people. The only one who is missing is Rachel, who was buried near Bethlehem where she died in childbirth.

The double cave, a mystery of thousands of years, was uncovered several years ago beneath the massive building, revealing artifacts from the Early Israelite Period (some 30 centuries ago). The structure was built during the Second Temple Period (about two thousand years ago) by Herod, King of Judea, providing a place for gatherings and Jewish prayers at the graves of the Patriarchs.

TIPH also has a problem, in writing:

Throughout history, there have been periods with a Jewish minority living side by side with a Muslim majority in Hebron.

which reads as if the Jews were never a majority in Hebron. A bit biased, that. And wrong.

I know you're sorely attempting to be annoying but you are revealing you stupidity, Anon.

First, since the Arab connection to the Land of Israel is based on the flight of a "prophet" (who married a little girl) on a winged horse, you should be either more respectful of Jewish traditions or more critical of Arab narratives.

Second, even without God, the Biblical events have been almost all confirmed by science. The Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron is a burial cave since over 4 millienia ago and it doesn't make a difference when the world was created in this instance.

And Juniper: "cockroaches" is not a good term. If you use it again, I'll delete your comment. Find an equally nasty term with less racist connotations. I know you can do it.
