Cemetery means nothing to Netanyahu

Israeli forces bulldoze historic war cemetery in eastern Gaza City:

Israeli forces destroyed large sections of the Gaza War Cemetery in eastern Gaza City, flattening grave areas containing the remains of more than 100 British, Australian, Polish, and other Allied soldiers from the first and second world wars, according to The Guardian.

Israel said the site was an active combat zone and claimed the destruction was “defensive” while the Commonwealth War Graves Commission confirmed extensive damage to memorials and grave sections, calling it “deeply troubling.”

Over the course of the war, Israel has bulldozed multiple Palestinian graveyards in Gaza, most recently, the al-Batsh cemetery in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City, which was excavated and desecrated last week by the Israeli military as they worked to recover the remains of the last Israeli captive.
