The American Jewish conservative political commentator and author Ben Shapiro came for a visit to Israel, visiting the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron on Wednesday.
“Went to Hebron yesterday and visited the Cave of the Patriarchs, Ma’arat Hamachpeila - the first plot of land purchased by Abraham in Israel and the gravesite of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah,” Shapiro tweeted.
“It was closed to Jews for 700 years under Muslim rule. Since 1967 it is open to everyone. Thank God for Israel.”
Well not "everyone" .....
Satmar won't allow their Jews to visit either!
I’m glad Satmar doesn’t visit Mearas Hamachpeilah. Biologically, Satmar are Jews but that’s where the commonality ends. They’re as Jewish as Ayatolah Khameini.
ReplyDeleteWhen a Satmar crosses my path I spit 3 times and throw salt over my left shoulder to ward off the Ayin Hara.
