Palestinian Shunned for Selling Land to Jews to Be Buried in Jewish Cemetery


(Ynet News) Inbar Tviser - Jerusalem's Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Aryeh Stern has approved the burial of a Muslim man inside a Jewish cemetery after Muslim cemeteries refused to bury him over suspicions he sold a property to Jews. Ala'a Qarash was killed in a car accident two weeks ago. Rabbi Stern explained: "Since the Muslims themselves are unwilling to bury him, we must do something and right this wrong done to a man disgraced simply for his willingness to sell land to Jews. We must give very positive treatment to righteous gentiles, and in this case this is someone who showed good will and was even willing to take a risk."
