Can we PLEASE get a follow-up on this story.
I (and I’m sure others too) would like to know what happens to these two arabs.
I really hope I am wrong, but my guess would be that they are free already.
Do not call Arab-occupied East Jerusalem, the “eastern capital.” It is offensive, and supports the claim of the enemy .
My parents are buried on Har hazetim near the Or Hachayim Hakadosh. Every time I read these stories of the desecration of the graves of the Tszadikim on Har Hazetim I wonder – what is their goal ??
