Now the dirty arabs are trying to appeal to the international community to get the Israeli government to back off the inclusion of two of the most holy sites in Judaism, the cave of Machpelah and the Tomb of Rachel.
These are two essential sites for Jewish survival. We cannot budge from claiming that these are our Jewish heritage sites. I think the times has come for the Jewish people to cry out to Hashem and make sure the media is listening. If I were younger I would go to Israel today and defend these two sites from the dirty arabs who are trying to erase the Jewish presence from the land.
If they want a 'religious' war lets give them one...

To protest Israel's move, PA holds cabinet meeting in Hebron, not Ramallah.
The Palestinian Authority has called on the international community to stop Israel from including the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron and Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem on its list of national heritage sties.
To protest the inclusion of the West Bank sites the PA wants as part of a Palestinian state, the PA held its weekly cabinet meeting in Hebron on Monday, instead of in from Ramallah as usual.
In a statement released after the meeting, the PA said the Israeli cabinet’s decision on February 21 to include the two sites on the list violated international law.
“These sites are an inseparable part of Palestinian land which has been occupied since 1967. The PA has turned to all the international bodies to demand that they oppose Israel’s decision,” the PA said.
The PA also reiterated its opposition to Israeli actions in east Jerusalem, including the construction of Jewish homes and the demolition of illegally built Arab homes, as well as the steps security personnel took on Sunday to quell Muslim rioters on the Temple Mount.
The PA asked the European Union to help stop Jewish construction in east Jerusalem.
On Monday, the EU said that Israel was harming the peace process.
A spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a statement that Ashton regarded the addition of the Cave of the Patriarchs and Rachel’s Tomb to the heritage list “as detrimental to the attempts to relaunch peace negotiations. The EU calls on Israel to refrain from provocative acts.”
Palestinians clashed with the IDF in Hebron for five days after the cabinet approved the list on February 21. Since then the violence has dwindled to small incidents of rock-throwing.
On Monday, a group of settler youths in Hebron, some as young as four years old, threw rocks and cursed at Palestinians, according to The Associated Press.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas warned last week that placing West Bank sites on the heritage list could lead to a religious war.
