"There is a Jewish community lives on the top of Mount Gerizim overlooking the historic city of Nablus. They are the Samaritans and christians too .the IDF has just stormed the city , threatening to kill anyone who moves, besieging the residents there, preventing them from leaving, and deploying snipers on the homes of citizens. The Samaritans consider themselves Palestinians, and that they are the true descendants of the people of Israel, and they deny the sanctity of Jerusalem in the Torah." - Source
