Avdat II

We visited Avdat on Saturday Morning. Sunday night vandals got in and beat the place up. According to the paper this morning, two Bedouins are accused of causing the damage, in revenge for the destruction of a relative's home. It seems so pointless. Avdat was built by the Nabateans, who were probably Bedouins out of the deserts of Arabia. It has never had any part in the state of Israel, no Jewish occupation. Why destroy your own heritage. It's just sad.
