  1. They originally said the kedoshim would be buried on Har Hazeitim, but I guess they decided security would be an insurmountable problem sice the government and police have abandoned the place to the Arabs.

  2. No, Abbas told his French counterpart that the State of Palestine would not wish them to be buried in Palestinian land. Having been among the first to vote for the State of Palestine resolution at the Unwanted Nobodies party the week before last, Hollande readily agreed and made it a condition of releasing the bodies that they not be buried over the “green line”.
