Hamas disinters Christians in Gaza
Hamas has been digging up bodies of Christians in the Gaza Strip, claiming that they pollute the earth according to human rights NGO's that are visiting Israel this week. "Hamas digs up the bodies of Christians from Christian burial sites in the Gaza Strip claiming that they pollute the earth," said Reverend Majed El Shafie, President of One Free World International (OFWI), who will head a delegation of human rights activists, members of parliament from Canada and religious personalities.El Shafie has quite a story to tell himself. Read the whole thing.
During their visit to Israel the delegation will hold a conference on human rights and persecuted minorities at the Van Leer Institute in Jerusalem. The conference will provide new statistics on the persecution of minorities in Muslim countries.
El Shafie said that between 200-300 million Christians are being persecuted in the world, 80 percent of whom lived in Muslim countries and the rest in communist and other countries.

Carl - don't think dead Jews in Israel will be spared if G-d forbid, Hamas ever has its way. They really go to ghoulish lengths to erase all evidence of non-Islamic history in Eretz Israel and they do mean that quite literally. So why give them an undeserved reward for Gilad Shalit?
Stupid Jews who don't get it!
NormanF,
Correct. When Israel expelled all its Jews from Gaza, it took its dead along and reburied on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. Not even the dead could be left behind.
Yes, that's right. And that does really put the lie to the notion the Palestinians want peace. Not even with the dead.
That says it all.
I was wondering if these are recent bodies or old Crusader graves. Desecration is bad enough but it would be worse if it was part of our world history they dug up as well.
Do they at least give these corpses proper cremation afterwards?
Myahon, the graves could be very old and still would probably not be Crusaders. Don't forget that all this land was Christian land until the Moslems invaded it in the 6th and 7th centuries and enslaved the Christians. Even as late as the time of the Crusaders, most of the inhabitants were probably Christian. The Crusades were only a counter attack, and too little, too late.
