1. Close mosques, if no jewish prayer then no muslim prayer
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (04.24.11)
2. Youssef
SA ,   USA   (04.24.11)
I wonder what the Qur'anic character of Youssef (they stole him from us) would think of these good Muslims torching his tomb...
3. I wonder what the reaction would be....
Vincent ,   Stockholm   (04.24.11)
I wonder what the reaction (from the media and the street) would be if it was a muslim holy site set on fire?
4. Piece Partners! Typical behavior of animals.
R ,   Jerusalem   (04.24.11)
5. Israel...take this site back! Now!
Ram ,   London   (04.24.11)
6. If you act like a dhimmi .....
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (04.24.11)
You get treated like a dhimmi. Like I always say, you can get Jews out of the ghetto but you can't get the ghetto out of Jews. We don't stand up for our own rights, for example, on the Temple Mt. so why should anyone respect us? Our own gov't. is responsible, our politicians are so full of sh*t it isn't funny.
7. Worshiping ancestors is idolatry
observer ,   Egypt   (04.24.11)
in Judaism, people are forbidden to come near to idolatry.
8. Joseph's Tomb IS a muslim holy site
Yakov Wolf ,   Olympia, US   (04.24.11)
Duh. And if you read it, you would see what would/did happened: The Palestinian Fire fighters would come and put it out before any substantial damage was done and police would maintain order.
9. #2 #8
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (04.24.11)
#2: the Muslims did not steal the prophet Youssouf or any prophet from us. All you have to do is read the Koran to know that Mohamed acknowledged that most of the Prophets, including Youssouf, were Jews, that the Jewish Bible is the truth, and that the Land of Israel was given to the Jews and not to anyone else. #8: Ever since Israel imported the Egyptian terrorist Arafat into Israel, the Arab have attacked Joseph's tomb. They never said it was a Muslim Holy site. If it was a Muslim Holy site, the Arabs who torched this time around and their families would already be hanging for blasphemy.
10. Hipocrites!
(04.24.11)
When mosques or Qurans are set on fire, the entire world shouts racism: when synagogues and tora scrolls are desectared, the world is silent and enjoys the show. I recommend everybody remembers what say and do the Islamo-Leftists who declared the "state of balestine" last week. It THIS the state they are looking for? Is a state based on racism, gencide and terror what they have in mind? If yes, then no wonder that they are called traitors and nazis - because that's exactly what traitors and nazis do - regardless what they call themselves and what flag they have.
11. to 7: is this a reason to murder Jews and burn their tomb?
(04.24.11)
12. #8 Appeasing ignorant - duh!
(04.24.11)
...watching Al Jazeerah for too long, eh, impostor?
13. Who Fears the Jews ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.24.11)
NOBODY. Better send a loud deterrence message. Start first by getting rid of the sissy's Barak and Netanyahu. Tear down the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount and dump the rubble on Nablus
14. excuse to burn
Ellen ,   Netanya/NYC   (04.24.11)
Let's see--A Jew is killed. The Arabs try to burn Kever Yosef. Who in their right mind can say this makes sense! All it does is show the behavior of these "peace loving" folks. They will attempt to burn and destroy for any reason--real or conceived. Like # 10 said, dare do something they perceive as against them and their are severe consequences. It is time for the Jewish people ( and soon the Christian people) to stand up and announce we are not going to continue to act as Moslem door mats. They verbalize they want world domination and the world seems to be bending over backwards to help them in their sick quest.
15. Joseph's Tomb
Jude ,   Eaton US   (04.24.11)
Wonder what they would think if someone blew up the well their mahdi is living in.
16. Palestinians again destroy Jewish holy site: NGOs silent
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (04.24.11)
The Palestinians attack and try to destroy a Jewish holy site. This isn't the first time they've done it. Disgusting how the "human rights" NGOs are all silent in the face of an attack on freedom of religion. They don't want to "offend" the Palestinians. They also aren't concerned with human rights any more. Shame on them. It's a clear violation of human rights in the "occupied territories". B'Tselem couldn't care less. Nor could the other phony "rights" groups. More proof that they use the issue of "human rights" as a cover for anti-Israel agitation.
17. #7 worshiping ancestors
observer ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.24.11)
worshiping your ancestors would be idolatry for they were idolaterous, our ancestors lived and breathed truth to turn to them to represent our prayers on high is the furthest thing from idolatry.
18. to # 13 marcel
David ,   herzlia,israel   (04.24.11)
armchair warrior !!, get up from your armchair in florida and come to Israel.. maybe you will then stop writing garbage
19. To all "Israelis" enter here
Ahmad ,   Ramallah, Palestine   (04.24.11)

Ali ,   Scotland   (04.24.11)
Attack Al Asqa ? And you think you're surrounded by hostiles...you haven't got a clue
21. #7 Observer...of what?
solomon ,   bklyn   (04.24.11)
Praying at ancestor's graves is common practice in most religions. It is not idolatry. Once more your myopia is showing.
22. Another Outrage by Murderers and Lawless Mobss
max ,   washington dc   (04.24.11)
Why isn't the IDF protecting the Jewish Worshipers at Joseph's Tomb? It is an outrage that Jews are murdered at home and at their Holy Places while the IDF protects the Moslem Holy Places.
23. JEWISH HOLY SITE
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (04.24.11)
Ali from Scotland,why you Muslims have the right to destroy Jewish & Non Jewish holy sites,while no one will dare to destroy your holy sites. What you Muslims can do if we destroy your ILLEGAL MOSQUE built on our holy site,go to war? Dont destroy or interfere with our holy sites,and we will not destroy your holy sites.You destroy our sites,and we will take revenge.Respect must be both ways not ONE WAY.
24. Observer in Egypt
Arnold-Canada   (04.24.11)
since when has praying in Joseph's tomb, or the mentioning of Rachel, or Leah, or Abraham been deemed as idolatry
25. The Ishmaelites must stop!
Annmarie ,   USA   (04.24.11)
26. #19 - Ahh - mad
Deborah ,   Midwest, USA   (04.24.11)
I'm sure your post has the Israeli's quaking in their boots. This constituted an act of extreme barbarism and you, sir, respond as a true coward. You and your ilk do not want peace, only a piece, if not all, of Israel. You just look for an excuse to go on rampages to quiet your raging hormones. Grow up!
27. Take back JEWISH control over Joseph's Tomb, NEVER release!
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.24.11)
28. #19
Jane   (04.24.11)
It is you who is lost - amid the death cult of which you are obviously a proud part - we, on the other hand, know who we are and who we will always be
29. you guys don't want to control your wackos why should we
freddy   (04.24.11)

In what dimension do you live and when did Joseph and his tomb become the property of islam.
