In the holy city of Jerusalem, we can't even mourn our dead in peace. The multiple videos that show occupation forces on horses with batons and guns ripping off the Palestinian flag from the casket of Shireen Abu Aqla and the Kuffiyeh from her dead body while beating mourners.

Have you ever seen depravity like this? An apartheid state that seeks to dehumanize us in every way, even in death.

And by the way, Israel blew up a home in Jenin this morning and continued it's ethnic cleansing project with illegal settlement expansion in Masafer Yatta leaving families in complete despair.

Shame on every politician and journalist that whitewashes this. Shame on every government that turns a blind eye to this. Shame on every human being that makes any claim to morality yet remains silent in the face of such inhumanity.
