	wfn.org \| Backgrounder: Politics of Holy Sites in the Holy Land
		The case is best illustrated by the fatal conflict centered on sites such as Rachel's Tomb and Joseph's Tomb, in a place called the "Holy Land."

		The "tombs" have become, in effect, outposts of Israeli occupation from which to control and to shoot at Palestinians.
		Hence, Israeli officials can declare that a "tomb" such as that identified with "Joseph" or "Rachel" is "Jewish" and that Palestinians are trying to have it "refurbished as a mosque" (see, for example, International Jerusalem Post, 20 October 2000).
