In Lieu of Flowers
Funeral of Moussa Arafat. In lieu of flowers, please bring weapons. He would have wanted it that way.
If you really, really liked this -- or even really, really hated it -- there's lots more:
Palestinian gunmen brandish their weapons next to the coffin of Moussa Arafat during his funeral in Gaza City, September 9, 2005. Palestinian militants freed the son of slain ex-security chief Moussa Arafat after kidnapping him and shooting dead his father in a raid they called a reprisal for 'collaboration' with Israel. The killing had stirred doubt about whether Palestinian security forces can keep order in the Gaza Strip, seen as a proving ground for Palestinian statehood, once Israelis leave the occupied territory during a planned pullout next week.
