Of The Dead
etanel Ozeri's lifeless head
bounced against the hard
canvas of a stretcher as
friends bore his corpse
through Hebron's muddy hills, making
a mad dash to avoid police and sol-
diers so they could bury Ozeri at the
illegal settlement outpost he estab-
lished a few years ago.
Ozeri, 34, a leading activist in the
extremist Kach movement, was mur-
dered by Palestinian terrorists Jan. 17
on the doorstep of his isolated home
outside Kiryat Arba.
However, it was only after a 16-
hour-long funeral — in which his
corpse essentially was kidnapped three
times — that Ozeri finally was buried
in the ancient cemetery in Hebron.
Israelis were shocked by the images
of Ozeri's corpse, swaddled in a blood-
stained prayer shawl and with his face
intentionally exposed to the elements.
Israeli newspapers carried banner
headlines with statements such as
"Disgrace of the Dead," and blared
page-sized pictures of the corpse in
various stages of the burial odyssey.
The episode reminded Israelis of the
explosive domestic issues — such as
the fate of the settlements and the civil
disobedience of the radical settler hard
core — that they may have to deal
with after the Jan. 28 elections and an
anticipated U.S.-led war on Iraq.
The funeral also displayed the internal
schisms in the settlement movement,
between a hard core of activists and
extremists that has frequently come to
blows with Israeli soldiers and police and
the movement's mainstream leadership.
The chairman of the Labor Party,
Amram Mitzna, has pledged that, if
elected prime minister, he will with-
draw from most of the West Bank
within a year, even without a peace
agreement. Mitzna, however, is not
expected to win the elections.
U.S. officials have intimated that
once an expected war against Iraq is
over, the Bush administration will
