Stones were thrown at a bus full of 60 Jewish worshipers that were rescued from the place by the IDF shortly afterwards. A number of Israelis were injured due to the stone-throwing and were treated on site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">According to the biblical tradition, Joseph was buried in the biblical city of Shechem which is outside of Nablus. Therefore, Joseph\u2019s Tomb is considered a Jewish shrine. The holy site is believed to be the place where 1 of 3 biblical transactions mentioned in the Torah took place. The other two are the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Even though the holy site is located in Area A of the West Bank, the Oslo Accords stated that Joseph\u2019s Tomb is 1 of 2 areas in the Palestinian Authority that will remain under Israeli jurisdiction following the establishment of a Palestinian state. The other site is a 6th-7th century synagogue in Jericho with a mosaic depicting a shofar with the following inscription: \u201cPeace unto Israel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The Times of Israel reported that the Oslo Accords required that the Palestinians protect the site and keep it open for Jewish worshippers, a promise that since 2000 has not been fulfilled from Israel\u2019s perspective. There has been Palestinian attempts to convert the site into a mosque, widespread vandalism, disturbances, riots, and even cases of arson attacks at the holy site. Other Israeli citizens have been murdered while praying at Joseph\u2019s Tomb.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 710px;\" \/>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\" content-alignment&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; \">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"> twoje uwagi, linki, wlasne artykuly, lub wiadomosci przeslij do: <span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span><a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 710px;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palestinian rioters throw stones at Jewish worshipers visiting Joseph&#8217;s Tomb Rachel Avraham Around 60 Jewish worshipers who came to pray at Joseph\u2019s Tomb had their bus attacked by Palestinian rioters who threw stones at them.
