[VIDEOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]
About 30 Jews, identified as Breslov Chassidim, traveled to Kever Yosef in PA (Palestinian Authority) occupied Shechem during the night of motzei Shabbos to be mispallel at the tziyun that was set ablaze by Arabs last week. They did not coordinate their visit with the IDF as one is required to do.
The situation quickly became most unfriendly as Arabs began hurling rocks at them. PA police stopped their vehicles and summoned the IDF. Some of the chassidim left the area while others were taken into custody. It appears five were arrested and one was injured lightly. It appears one of their vehicles was also set ablaze.

These people are true lunatics.
Brave or Crazy? Let’s vote.
It’s the army’s responsibility to secure Jewish Holy sites in Israel. If arab bandits burn it they shouldn’t reward them by blocking access to Jews.
They shouldn’t give our enemies guns to “protect” OUR holy sites!
If a group of religious Jews risk thier lives to retain access to the site they should be rewarded not arrested!
Yosef Hatzadik is what protects the land, if not for his bones we wouldn’t have entered, if not for the zchus of Jews continuing to pray there daily (as is the case) we will not stay in the land one second.
OUR ENEMIES UNDERSTAND THIS WHY CAN’T WE?!
Far better that they are at a Kever in Eretz Yisroel, than travelling to Chutz lo’Oretz to Uman [pumping money into Ukrainian economy] to visit a Kever.
NUTS!!!!
That was an insane action!!
These people are crazy. When you’re dealing with murderous lunatics like the Palestinians, the last thing you need to do is to further inflame them. If the Kever was located inside a lion’s cage, would they have gone in? No. If these Chasidim had been butchered, they’d only have themselves to blame.
Michael b: don’t justify them. They are STUPID period! Going to Yosef hatzadiks kever is not something to risk your life for. They should have gotten authorization if they wanted to go so badly.

The PA authority arrested them not the Israelis.

You don’t know that. The fact that they went there might be proof, that had it been in a lion enclosure they might have gone too.
Stupid!

Ditto
These people aren’t ״חסידים״ they are Emotionally Unhealthy People period. They need to do “Special” things to feel OK with themselves. Apparently the regular תורה ותפילה וגמילת חסדים is just to Boring for them. They are big נאבאך cases!!!
