I can`t understand how a Synagogue can be demolished. Isn`t it forbidden in any religion? When a building is ordained for ritualistic sacred purposes doesn`t it belong to a protected environment? Ordinarily, I would say if it has been sold as property then the new owner is within his rights, but, this is a Synagogue! As for Jews living in Lebanon who are being silent: Isn`t that kind of cowardly? Lebanon is no prize to live in right now.
