Israeli settlers ordered the family of Hussein Al-Asasa to exhume his body – 'or we'll throw it to the dogs.' The goal was achieved: No Palestinian resident now dares approach the cemetery
At dusk last Friday the funeral dispersed and the mourners made their way slowly back to their village. They gathered in the large space on the ground floor of the deceased's home, which served as a mourning tent and was already lined with plastic chairs for the visitors. The dead man, who was 80, left behind seven sons, three daughters and 30 grandchildren.
