BS. As your article notes, the Israelis agreed to move them in the face of Palestinian threats of desecration. SunSeeker May 17 #53

The families didn't want to. They argued with Israeli government. You forgot to quote the Israeli govt Nanjeanne May 18 #71

They couldn't leave the graves there because the Palestinians would desecrate the graves. SunSeeker May 18 #72
