SALFIT (Ma'an) Israeli forces escorted hundreds of Israelis to a religious site in a Palestinian village in the northern West Bank early Thursday.

Soldiers deployed along the streets and barricaded the entrances to Kifl Haris, near Salfit, to check villagers' identity cards, locals told Ma'an.

Dozens of armored buses transferred the Israelis into the village at 12.30 a.m., where they shouted slogans against Arabs, resident Amjad Abu Yacoub said.

An Israeli army spokeswoman said "1,400 Israelis entered Joshus Binun tomb in the village, there were no disturbances."

Really bizarre, when you think about it. Where else in the world does the military escort in convoys of people to shout abuse at the inhabitants? Israel: the bridge between the light and the dark.
2 ) Holy Sites of One / Land of the Other

- Jewish holy sites, like the Temple Mount, and the tombs of Joshua Bin Nun, Joseph, Abraham, et.al, and Rachel can NOT end-up within the Palestinian lands, after a peace agreement, any more than - Muslim holy sites, like the tomb of the Prophet Mohammed, can end-up on Jewish lands !!! Such an agreement would only war.

2) You are arguing in favour of a one-state solution, as I don't see how this can be arranged geographically. 1) It is bizarre, isn't it?

#1:Very primitively 'bizarre'!
But Israel,a 'bridge'? No Colin.Not while Zionists control,what they pretend is 'Israel'.
Israel is no bridge. More like the dark,deep,mouldy tunnel of Zionism beneath the light of pluralistic humanity/history? Kind of like the torture tunnels/chambers of the Papal Inquisition,for 350 yrs?
Zionists are soul-less,political,savages.
Unfortunately the municipality of Salfit has just handed over nearly 200 extra dunums to illegal Zionist colonies-of hatred!

To 'Holy Sites' #2 'Jewish holy sites, like the Temple Mount, and the tombs of Joshua Bin Nun, Joseph, Abraham, et.al, and Rachel can NOT end-up within the Palestinian lands' These places are invariably fictitious. 'The pools of Solomon,' etc. Usually one can go on the web and discover just how fictitious, but this one's so obscure it hasn't been debunked yet.

I am arguing for neither:
- a peace that will NOT last, nor
- a situation leading to war,
but such Holy Sites could become Israeli "islands",
with connections promised through Palestine, just like
Palestine wants a Gaza-West_Bank connection through Israel !!

However, we should definitely forget about a real "one-state solution",
since Israel will never accept it, and also probably a two-state solution,
since Palestinians will never make the required compromises !!!
