Reader comment on item: Palestine Betrayed
Submitted by Jules Posten (United States), Jun 9, 2010 at 13:45
when Jews didn't have a state, how much access did the "rulers" grant them to the Jewish holy sites? since 1967, does Israel refuse anyone the right to visit and pray at their holy places? what happened at the Tomb of Rachel some eight or nine years ago? isn't this Jewish holy site now painted in palestinian colors and wasn't the elderly caretaker murdered? without much international protest as i recall. or am i mistaken?
