Grave Injustice in the Holy Land The news from the West Bank has been dismal for years, but some incidents are especially egregious.
Last week's desecration of a Palestinian cemetery by Israeli settlers is one such case. The destruction of family plots and headstones is an affront to both the living and the concept of respect for the dead.
Israeli forces provided cover fire with tear gas as the settlers vandalized the cemetery, emboldened by impunity.
