Israel is slowly surrendering de facto the traditional burial site of the prophet Samuel, known as Nebi Samuel, to Arabs, as it once did with the Tomb of Joseph. The holy site is located a short distance to the north of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramot, near the site of a farm that was torched twice by Arabs in the past four days.
Yisrael Orbach told Israel National News that Arabs set part of his orchard on fire on the Sabbath and tried to burn it down again on Monday. An indication of Israel’s willingness to surrender sovereignty over the site, he said, was reflected in a decision to close the burial site at night because authorities say they cannot insure the public's safety during the evening hours.
The burial site of the prophet Samuel is certainly not ancient Arab land, but that belonging to the Children of Israel. Yet the Arabs continue the lie that the land belongs to them.
