Islamists 'Defining Identity' In Christian Cemeteries

In an act of what constitutes "defining identity" in New York Times-speak, 70 graves in two Christian cemeteries were desecrated yesterday in the West Bank Palestinian village of Jiffna, near Ramallah.

Barbaric people are not to be blamed when civilized people and nations i.e. UN keep silence on nothing but savage and barbaric people's actions.
What a disrespect for others faith and belonging. What a shame of all nations that claim they are democratic and humanistic and insist on leave that to happen.
What a shame when Palestinians see in Israel --that is committed to preserve all its heritages including Christian's and Muslim's--the enemy.
Disgusting photos. What a shame!
