On Tuesday 1 March, Sabeel attended a meeting in Jerusalem organized by PASSIA (the Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs). The purpose of the meeting was to shed light on the attacks on Palestinian Muslim cemeteries. Most of the Muslim cemeteries in Palestine have been confiscated by the Israeli government (over 60% were confiscated in 1948). Since 1948, the Israeli government has restricted the Islamic Waqf’s ability to hold burials in the remaining three cemeteries. Since 1948, the Muslim population in Jerusalem has increased significantly. This has made it very difficult for Muslims who die to be buried. This is an example of how the Israeli government makes life difficult for Palestinians from birth to death.
