⛔ No, Jews are not storming "Islamic shrines."

Let's talk about it. 🧵

Many of Judaism's most important sites are located here.

You might hear this site referred to as the Ibrahimi Mosque, but it's also called:
🔹 Cave of Machpelah
🔹 Cave of the Patriarchs
🔹 Tomb of the Patriarchs

Rachel's Tomb is a holy site for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.

Even in the last 24 hours, when PIJ gunmen opened fire on Jewish worshipers at Joseph's Tomb, outlets outrageously either completely ignored or tried to hide the Jewish significance of the site.

🕍 Eshtemoa was described as a large Jewish village during the Roman & Byzantine period.

🕍 The Jericho synagogue has a mosaic floor which incorporates Jewish symbols such as the Ark of the Covenant, the Temple Menorah, a shofar and a lulav.

The two headlines at the bottom of this image are just two of the many many many stories which talk of Jews "storming" or "performing provocative rituals" at "Islamic shrines."

Joseph is an integral figure within Judaism.

This was an outrageous decision by @UNESCO.

#TLDR: There's a reason it's called JUDEA and Samaria.
