FUNERAL MAYHEM
May 13 2022

  • THIS is the shocking moment Israeli forces attack mourners at the funeral of an Al Jazeera journalist causing the coffin to topple to the ground.
Shireen Abu Aqleh, 51, was killed earlier this week while reporting from the West Bank city of Jenin with Israel being accused of her assassination.
Thousands attended the journalist's funeral

After a memorial service on Thursday, the journalist's body was kept in the morgue at St Joseph's Hospital.
And while thousands flocked to Jerusalem to pay their respects to the Aqleh, disturbing footage from the funeral today shows Israeli security forces attacking a crowd of mourners.
A group of people carrying the casket from the hospital towards a church in the Old City can be seen being hit by the forces with batons.
At one point the coffin topples to the ground as chaos endures with the officers also firing tear gas.

Others can be seen waving Palestinian flags and chanting.
Israel had reportedly forbidden the casket from being carried to the church.
Israel previously claimed it was “likely” the journalist was killed by Palestinian gunfire but a Qatar-based TV channel said Israeli forces shot Abu Aqleh deliberately and "in cold blood".
According to photographer from the AFP agency, Abu Aqleh was wearing a press flak jacket when she was shot.
The photographer reported that Israeli forces were firing in the area and they then saw Abu Aqleh's body lying on the ground.

There were no Palestinian gunmen visible in the area when Abu Aqleh was killed, the photographer added.
The Israeli army confirmed it had conducted an operation in the camp early Wednesday but firmly denied it had deliberately targeted a reporter.

It said there was an exchange of fire between suspects and security forces.
The army said it was "investigating the event and looking into the possibility that journalists were hit by the Palestinian gunmen".

Can't recall where I read it, but there's a traditional Catholic story surrounding our Blessed Mother's dormition.



That is, when the Apostles were conducting a funeral procession for her,
it was attacked by some Jєωs.  Their purpose was to desecrate Our Lady's 
body out of hatred for her and Our Lord.

As the story goes, the Apostles were taken by surprise by the ambush, but Angels were on guard, surrounding Our Lady's body.  

When the assailants tried to touch Mother Mary, the flesh on their hands and arms were instantly burned off.   
So, the Jєωs didn't stay to finish the attack.



"Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

There’s no excuse for such behavior at anyone’s funeral. 
The soul has already been judged by God. So even if the deceased was a scoundrel, let the fellow scoundrels tend to the earthly remains.  
(I’m in no way implying she was a scoundrel!  She was Greek Catholic or Orthodox, right?  If so, may her soul R.I.P.)
Those people acted not like humans, but the lowest sort of animals, hyenas and vultures racing to gorge themselves on carrion.

Thanks Incred!  Yes, I recall reading something along those lines as well.  The following passage, for example, is taken from an article found here: https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2020/08/15/102302-the-dormition-of-our-most-holy-lady-the-mother-of-god-and-ever-v

Unbelieving inhabitants of Jerusalem, taken aback by the extraordinarily grand funeral procession and vexed at the honor accorded the Mother of Jesus, complained of this to the High Priest and scribes. Burning with envy and vengefulness toward everything that reminded them of Christ, they sent out their own servants to disrupt the procession and to set the body of the Mother of God afire.

An angry crowd and soldiers set off against the Christians, but the circular cloud accompanying the procession descended and surrounded them like a wall. The pursuers heard the footsteps and the singing, but could not see any of those accompanying the procession. Indeed, many of them were struck blind.
The Jєωιѕн priest Athonios, out of spite and hatred for the Mother of Jesus of Nazareth, wanted to topple the funeral bier on which lay the body of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, but an angel of God invisibly cut off his hands, which had touched the bier. Seeing such a wonder, Athonios repented and with faith confessed the majesty of the Mother of God. He received healing and joined the crowd accompanying the body of the Mother of God, and he became a zealous follower of Christ.

Help of Christians, guard our land from assault or inward stain,
Let it be what God has planned, His new Eden where You reign.

And this in turn reminds me of how the remains of body of Pius IX almost got tossed into the Tiber.  See https://catholicartblog.wordpress.com/2019/08/13/36-horrible-outrage-on-ponte-s-angelo-at-the-funeral-of-pope-pius-ix-2/
Horrible Outrage on Ponte S. Angelo at the Funeral of Pope Pius IX

Posted bycatholicartblogAugust 13, 2019

36. — HORRIBLE OUTRAGE ON PONTE S. ANGELO AT THE FUNERAL OF POPE PIUS IX.
At midnight, July 12 (13), 1881, the mortal remains of Pius IX were transferred without pomp or ceremony in a simple hearse, followed by three mourning coaches, to S. Lorenzo outside the walls. The Prefect of the city had recommended that the funeral should be at midnight, and it was understood that he and his police would be there to prevent any disorder on the part of the enemies of the Papacy. Alongside the hearse and behind the coaches followed several thousand persons on foot with lighted candles reciting the Rosary and other prayers.

On reaching the Ponte S. Angelo the funeral cortege was suddenly and savagely attacked by some three or four hundred ruffians, Freemasons, Garibaldians, and other apostates, with the avowed object of seizing the body and casting it into the Tiber. The Catholic young men, who were following in the procession, quickly closed around the hearse, resolved to defend it at the cost of their lives. A sharp struggle ensued, and many were severely wounded, but the Catholics succeeded in beating off their savage assailants, and the procession moved on its course. The whole Catholic world was shocked at the news of this sacrilegious outrage, and ever since that time it has been considered unsafe for the Holy Father to set foot outside the Vatican.
