Israel: Muslims Refuse to Bury “Palestinian” Who Sold Land to Jews; Rabbi Arranges Burial in Jewish Cemetery

11

This incident epitomizes the entire conflict between Israel and the “Palestinians.” On the one side, you have a people consumed by hate, hate that is commanded by their religious texts, and which drives them not only to perform but to celebrate acts of unspeakable inhumanity. And on the other side, you have a people that, despite being menaced and killed and then excoriated for defending itself, remains steadfastly humane and committed to the dignity of the human person. The UN and others that routinely vilify Israel should take notice of this incident and its implications. But they won’t.

“Muslims Refuse to Bury Palestinian Who Sold Land to Jews; Rabbi Arranges Burial in Jewish Cemetery,” United with Israel, November 20, 2018 (thanks to Mark):

Alla’ Qirresh, one of six Palestinians killed in a deadly car crash on Israel’s Route 90 earlier this month, was refused burial in Jerusalem’s central Muslim cemeteries because he allegedly sold property in the city to Jews.

Palestinian law prohibits Palestinians from selling land to anyone connected to Israel in any way.

Seeking to find a final resting place for the car accident victim and hearing about the family’s plight, Jerusalem’s Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Aryeh Stern issued a unique ruling approving Qirresh’s burial at a special plot for those without religious faith at Har HaMenuchot, Jerusalem’s main Jewish cemetery, Ynet News reported Sunday.

Rabbi Stern explained that since the Muslims were unwilling to bury him, “we must do something and right this wrong done to a man disgraced simply for his willingness to sell land to Jews. We must give very positive treatment to righteous gentiles, and in this case this is someone who showed good will and was even willing to take a risk.”

Jerusalem Arabs tormented the family of the car accident victim during their moments of grief because he committed the “great sin” of selling land to Jews.

While the remaining five victims were hailed by Palestinians in Jerusalem as Shahids (martyrs) and received a joint funeral attended by thousands, Qirresh’s body was not allowed into the Al-Aqsa Mosque or into Jerusalem’s other large mosques, and his name was not included in the obituary announcements of the incident.

When Qirresh’s family brought his body to Al-Aqsa Mosque for burial, they were chased away. They tried other locations where they were likewise blocked, and at one location the commotion developed into a violent scuffle.

He has since been temporarily buried outside the cemetery in Nabi Saleh in Samaria.

“We will do everything to bring Ala’a Qirresh to a proper burial, and we will not allow a man to be disrespected in this manner, whether he is Arab or Jewish,” said Baruch Yadid,  head of the Palestinian desk of the Zionist Im Tirtzu NGO, to Ynet….

This shows who the real humanitarians are… yet the Jews are still excoriated for their falsely accused ‘inhumanity’.
May G-d bless and protect the Rabbi and his family.

A completely ignorant statement. The Israelites have “owned” that land since history started.

that’s not how ownership works. native americans owned their lands before European immigrants came and took over.

There is no such thing as a palestinian and no such place as palestine. It is a construct.

“Palestinians” (who in fact were originally Ottomans) have proven themselves to be worthless and dangerous people. The US and Israel should round up all their “Palestinians” and send them back where they came from — namely, to Turkey. Let the Turks deal with them.
