They started it:-
If the living cannot stop Jewish settlement expansion in the West Bank, perhaps the dead can?
Dubbed “The Intifada of Graves,” a new Palestinian initiative endorses burying the dead on privately owned Palestinian land in outlying rural areas to prevent its confiscation by Israel. The campaign was launched by the Popular Palestinian Committees (PPC), a grassroots organization based in Hebron which has spearheaded non-violent political activity since the first Palestinian Intifada (uprising) in 1987.
Azmi Al-Shyukhi, secretary-general of the PPC, said the new initiative was his own brainchild, but received the endorsement of Palestinian Minister of Local Affairs Khaled Al-Qawasmi and State Minister for Wall and Settlement Affairs Maher Ghneim...Hagit Ofran, Settlement Watch project director at Israel’s Peace Now organization, said the Palestinian initiative was part of an ongoing land struggle between Israeli authorities and Palestinians.
“This is an attempt [by Palestinians] to bring their plight to public attention,” Ofran told The Media Line. “It may work, or at least embarrass Israel, as part of a struggle for awareness.”
They have blown themselves up so why not this? Death has no sanctity for them.
But, then again, what are the Pals. to do with the Jewish dead in Hebron's Cave of the Patriarch?
Ah, yes, there is always what the did to thousands of Jewish graves on the Mount of Olives, up until 1967 and afterwards, as well.
Now, why didn't Ofran think about that?

UPDATE
Iran is calling it the Intifada of the Graves.
