This photo (by Mamoun Wazwaz, for the Maan News agency) depicts Palestinian leader Mustafa Bargouti at a graveyard in Hebron, where several Palestinian gravestones were desecrated by settlers. The accompanying article describes more settler violence in Hebron: an ambulance stoned by settlers. (Thanks to Anees.)

This is nothing new. Starting in 1948, inside the Green Line, the Israelis have bulldozed entire Palestinian cemeteries, toppling and breaking the gravestones, and sometimes leaving the bones of the dead exposed.
If Israelis have no respect for living Palestinians, why would they be expected to show respect to the dead ones?
Actually this has happened on both sides, going way back. We only get to hear about the desecration of Israeli graves in Uncle Sam's MSM.
Absolutely despicable and unacceptable. Those settlers responsible should be tried and exiled.
All israelis should be exiled.
I am not aware of any desecration of Israeli graves. Are you referring to the allegation of desecration of Jewish gravestones by the Jordanians in 1948?
Israeli graves are already desecrated by virtue of having Israeli bodies in them.
Even dead Israelis pose toxic hazard.
They should be buried on Mars.
Even dead Israelis pose toxic hazard.
Keep it up, r. You're an asset to your cause.
Defend these vermin, if that suits you, Shirazi. The only defensible position toward Israelis is unrestricted contempt. As Jews, we are all saddled with their vileness and called to account for their crimes.
I hope they are wiped off the earth.
Soon.
So "r" is the new troll here after the Israeli foreign ministry deemed the old ones not effective enough?
On topic: It certainly speaks numbers about the Israeli society if they can't reign in those racist colonists.
