Where is respect for the dead in reburials?
The Aug. 11 article about the reburial of deceased Israelis from the cemetery in Gush Katif in Gaza is truly heartbreaking. One can only imagine the pain and suffering caused to the families who are going through this. Added to this tragedy is the fact that no world government has raised criticism of the Palestinian Authority for its violation of the most basic human right -- to show respect to the dead and to assure the safety of those who would want to visit the burial grounds. Israel is expected to protect Israeli Arabs, provide roads and infrastructure for Palestinians, trade supposed peace for land and help their economy grow; in return for which Israel receives nothing. What a sham.
