Israeli settlers force Palestinian family to exhume and rebury their father

[David__77]

A Palestinian family in the occupied West Bank has been forced by Israeli settlers, reportedly under military protection, to dig up their father’s grave and rebury him, which the United Nations is condemning as “appalling and dehumanising”.

Eighty-year-old Hussein Asasa died of natural causes on Friday and was buried shortly after in a cemetery in Asasa village near Jenin.

His son, Mohammed, said the burial had been coordinated in advance with Israeli security forces, which provided all necessary permits.

However, shortly after the burial, settlers threatened the Asasa family, ordering them to exhume the body, claiming it had been buried on land that formed part of an Israeli settlement. Under international law, such settlements are considered illegal and are not recognised as Israeli territory.

2. The West Bank lands is now our land say the extremist Jewish settlers,... all Palistinians must now get the fuck out.

By gun point if necessary. We are G-d's chosen people to occupy all of the Holy lands,... repeat,.... GET THE FUCK OUT. You will be tormented, harassed relentlessly, and violence will come down upon you.

3. If the "good people" of Israel allow this to happen, are they still good people? We were indoctrinated in the......

........fifties and sixties to believe in the wonderful "Sabra" settlers that went to Israel to farm and make the "desert bloom" and the refugees from war torn Europe who went to a place where they could be safe. This despite the fact that other people were already living there because they could share their common homeland. Now seventy-five years later asshole, religious extremists have decided that their land must be purified, not just of living Palestinians, but also the dead ones.
