Alerting all Maccabees! History has just sent us an ominous message from the ancient past. A sling stone [1] was recently discovered near Hebron. It bears the name of a Seleucid tyrant, Diodotus Tryphon [2], who tyrannized our Judean ancestors and executed Judah Maccabee's brother and successor, Yonatan the High Priest. It also bears an idolatrous symbol of Zeus, "king" of the Greek deities.
