In one of the most disturbing incidents reported in the occupied West Bank in recent months, a Palestinian family from the village of al-Asasa near Jenin says Israeli settlers forced them to dig up and rebury their 80-year-old father just hours after his funeral on Friday.

The burial had been coordinated in advance with Israeli forces and took place in a long-standing cemetery on privately owned Palestinian land.

Roughly an hour after the funeral, settlers from the recently re-established, illegal Sa-Nur settlement arrived carrying shovels and began digging around the fresh grave, shouting that the body had to be removed because it was allegedly “too close” to the settlement.

Israeli occupation forces were present and confiscated some of the tools, but did not remove the settlers or stop the harassment. Fearing that their father’s remains would be desecrated, the grieving family was forced to exhume the body themselves and transport it to another village for reburial.

The cemetery lies outside the settlement’s official boundaries, but the area is now under increasing pressure following Israel’s re-establishment of Sa-Nur, one of four settlements evacuated in 2005.

Israeli ministers and settler leaders have openly celebrated Sa-Nur’s return as part of a broader drive to expand settlements across the occupied West Bank and eliminate the possibility of a Palestinian state.

The UN human rights office condemned the incident as part of a wider pattern of the “dehumanization of Palestinians.” For many Palestinians, the message was unmistakable: under occupation, not even the dead are allowed to remain in peace.

Is there ever a time where zionists don't behave like "human" insects?

At this point, i'll just come out and say it; give the zionists two options when West Asia is being decolonized: leave, or be shot and/or beat on the streets. You krakkers deserve three times worse than what you do when genociding Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran. Give the same treatment for zionists outside West Asia as well.
