Four cousins and their funerals

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Thursday March 25, 2010 16:43author by pat c Report this post to the editors

Nour Odeh writes about the funerals of four Palestinian teenagers who were murdered by the Israeli "Defence" Forces. Full story at url below.

Reporting on the death of children is never an easy task. It challenges your sense of professionalism and puts you face to face with the strongest of emotions; a mother’s inconsolable grief at the loss of her child.

On Sunday, I went through this unforgettable experience - four times.

Iraq Burin is a small village – population 1100. Residents here are like a family; many are related by blood and most are childhood friends. The loss of two teens here is one shared by all.

Then came the mourners, bearing the bodies of Mohamad and Usaid; for a final visit home – a last chance for their mothers to kiss them goodbye.

Residents of Israel's Kiryat Shmona reportedly beat and poured boiling water on a 26-year-old Palestinian worker on Friday night, who was later transferred to a Nablus hospital for treatment.

Munjid Besharat, from Tamun village, said he had worked for 14 months in a factory on the northern Israel border, and was surprised last week when three Israeli residents of the community surrounded and began beating him with sticks.
