Nothing is more sacred to the Jewish people than the earthly remains of their dearly departed. The dead are treated with respect as if they were still among the living. Their final resting place becomes a shrine for generations to come, having frequent visitors and ceremonies to remember those that are no longer with us.
Israeli government negotiations have been ongoing for decades for the return of the remains of Jews that might be buried in other lands, so that ‘proper’ Jewish burial can take place in ‘sacred soil’…
There are outcries from Jewish groups whenever a Jewish grave or cemetery is desecrated, and justifiably so… but deafening silence when the same crime is directed at a Palestinian cemetery. Obviously when ‘the shoe is on a different foot’ they just learn to walk differently.
How are the zionists expected to respect the Palestinian dead when they don’t respect the living ones? The concept of the ‘chosen people’ goes beyond the grave….. as well as the racism inherent in that concept. Below is the latest report of just one of many such incidents…

anti-GENTILISM causes anti-semitism. There was NO “anti-semitism” in the world, until they caused it themselves through their Bigotry and Intolerance of all NON-jews. The whole “Torah” is a diatribe and MANUAL of HATE.

When the police belong to the Klan they can’t find the perps either.
When you hear “It is not about us, it is about the principle” rest assured it is about us.
