And yet it happens because religion is that reason. Jewish god, Lord Jealous, tells Jews to hate people of other religions, and these nuns were lucky that they didn't throw them out or even worse, especially since they are in Jewish Holy Land where god of the Bible sees ethnic cleansing as the only solution to get rid of an unwanted religious group.

“You shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you … for I have given you the land to possess.” —Numbers 33:52–53

Even among the members of one family, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly could all exist. And this is the case everywhere every time.
I bet that millions of Jews inside and outside Palestine are somehow shy that their religion is used to serve the dreams and interests of some powerful rich high classes (not necessarily Jewish only) and let is look as a racist inhuman one.
This applies on Muslims too and their Islam.
The irony is that the greatest beneficiaries from using Judaism and Islam (besides other beliefs) claim they are loving Christians. Very cleaver indeed.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The Christian Broadcasting Network: Jesus is comming because red heifers are here

Quote:Prophetic Anticipation Builds: Unblemished Red Heifers for Temple Ceremony Soon Come of Age

Last September, five red heifers arrived in Israel amid great fanfare, because some Jews and Gentiles believe red heifers are a key element leading to the building of the Third Jewish Temple.

The heifers are now in a secure, undisclosed location in Israel. Plans include moving them, sometime soon, to a visitor’s center in Shiloh, where the tabernacle of the Lord once stood for nearly 400 years.

The book of Numbers explains that ashes of the red heifer are used to purify priests for their service in the Temple.

These red heifers are now between 1 ½ and 2 years old. To replicate the ceremony mentioned in the Bible, they need to be at least 3 years old. And within that time span, they cannot have a blemish or anything that would disqualify them for the ceremony, even one white or black hair. 

According to those working on the project, the ceremony of the red heifer needs to be performed on the Mount of Olives, and in a place that would have looked directly into where the Temple stood. The land directly east of the Temple Mount, purchased 12 years ago, meets both of those standards.

“The Temple Institute actually have, nine pure priests,” the rabbi explained.  “They didn’t born in hospital, okay? They born at home. Because they are priests. So anyway, they don't go to any cemetery. And the parents keep them in a situation that they will not get to any cemetery, not going to other, any problematic place.”

He added, “And they are pure, and they are waiting.  So, we have the priest, we have the red heifer, we have the land.  We have everything ready. We just need to wait another one and a half year.”

Author Joel Rosenberg wrote about the Third Temple in his novel, The Copper Scroll. He told CBN News that Jews have different views on the subject.

"Jews are actually divided between, does the Messiah Himself have to come and build the Temple, or do you build the Temple and the Messiah comes? So, among those Jews, Israelis, who care, that's actually, they're divided into two different camps."

"Those who think about it and those who don't – most Christians, I think, don't think about about the Third Temple. But those who do believe that it will be built before Jesus returns, for the Second Coming, not necessarily before the Rapture, but definitely before the Second Coming, and that the anti-Christ will take over that Third Temple during the tribulation and try to rule the world from there."

He continued, "Could it happen in our lifetime? That, to me, is intriguing. I think we don't know, but there are some Jews who are really making – as you're reporting on – preparations to get ready for that moment, and that's something to watch closely."

Stinson told CBN News they plan to invite everyone to the red heifer ceremony that may take place during Passover, 2024.

Actually, there was even a South Park episode about this.

Nun’s body exhumed 4 years after death and shows no signs of decay. People are claiming its a real life “miracle”

“We were told by cemetery personnel to expect just bones in the conditions, as Sister Wilhelmina was buried without embalming and in a simple wood coffin,” one nun told Newsweek.

The small rural Missouri town of Gower has become an unexpected pilgrimage destination after a nun’s exhumed body showed no visible signs of decomposition — four years after her burial.

Hundreds of people have been flocking to the town 40 miles north of Kansas City to marvel at the well-preserved corpse of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, with many calling it a “Miracle in Missouri.”
