The IDF prevented a delegation of religious-Zionist rabbis and social activists from entering the West Bank village of Yasuf Sunday, where a mosque was torched on Friday.
The rabbis had arrived in order to donate Koran books to the mosque, but these had to be taken into the village by a Muslim representative due to IDF fears that a conflict would break out if rabbis were allowed to enter the village.
The rabbis waited at a central West Bank junction while soldiers blocked them from proceeding into the village.
After a few hours the IDF released a statement saying the visit had been properly coordinated and that the rabbis would be allowed in within hours, but by then it was two late and the parties left the area.
Earlier the army had stated that the delegation was denied entrance by the IDF chief of staff's office due to security concerns.
Rabbi of Tekoa Menachem Froman said the halacha prohibits doing harm to religious sites. "This deed was a serious religious crime," he said, adding that mutual respect between Jews and Muslims could bring peace.
"If we keep hiding our heads in the sand and denying that the conflict (with the Palestinians) is religious, we will never get anywhere," Froman said.
He also condemned similar acts on the Palestinian side, such as the torching of Gush Katif synagogues and the desecration of Joseph's Tomb in Nablus.
"They also do worse things such as murder Jews," he said. "I'm not saying they are pacifists but enmity exists on both sides," the rabbi added.
Governor of the Salfit region, Munir Abbushi, met with the rabbis at the junction and told them, "The torching of the mosque was a racist act. We are in favor of true peace, and I thank you for coming to identify with us on the torching I hope we can live in this country as two states."
I do not support or condone the burning of a mosque.
I also condemn useful idiots such as Rabbi of Tekoa Menachem Froman, who had to go crying to our enemy.
The Arabs as the Rabbi pointed out have destroyed many Jewish places of worship and even murdered thousands of Jews.
I would point out that the Arab governor, stated the goal of the Arabs is two states.
So Rabbi Froman who you going to run crying to when the IDF wants to throw you out of your home in Tekoa in Gush Etzion.
Maybe your Palestinian friends will let you be their pet Jew.
G-D forbid the IDF throws any more Jews from their homes.
So some stupid person burns a mosque, condemn it .
But to go there and look for a photo op and saying mutual respect will bring peace just shows how stupid you are.
Then to top it all off you bring risk to the IDF soldiers and the Border Police officer that are at Yasuf to try and keep the peace by your going to the village. It could have easily flared into violence again when these useful idiots appeared.
My son is on the scene there at Yauf and has been since Friday early, so don't dare risk his safety and those he serves with so you can go cry to our enemies, how bad the Jews are.
Maybe if we had a government for Jews of Jews maybe people would not get so crazy that they feel they have to do something anything no matter how wrong it is to feel they have some power over their own future.
