you almost want to eat them up.

Nobody critiqued a funeral.

They criticised a terrorist act and the support for same among a particular group.

There is a "reek of desperation"on the thread... but you're nose blind to it.

no desperation save that of the man who got killed

Is any evidence backing up the claim.

so that they can not be buried in a timely manner

It's highly unlikely that they hold bodies "so that they can't be buried in a timely manner"

If you want your body to be available for burial within a certain period of time, it's best not to die while committing a criminal act or terrorism. In either case (and in the US as well), authorities have to perform an investigation. Any delay is a direct consequence of your own actions, not something you can blame on anyone else.

Negotiations with Israel's armed forces ensued. Israel pleaded no defense for the government's choice to keep the bodies of the slain young men and women in deep freeze. The Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Center volunteered to represent the families during the negotiation process, and Hisham Sharabati, a coordinator and field worker with the Hebron Defense Committee, worked closely with the families as an advocate and adviser.

"At one point military officials offered to release five of the bodies," Sharabati explained, "but only on the condition that the families agree to hold their funerals at night with a limited number of mourners." The parents decided collectively to refuse these conditions. "The families were committed to getting each and every one of their children back," Sharabati said.

Israel's practice of withholding Palestinian bodies was commonplace during the second intifada (September 2000 - February 8, 2005). Since then, this has been the first period during which Israel has carried out the practice with such zeal. If it is meant to stem violence on the part of Palestinians - violence that continues to represent a fraction of that inflicted by the Israeli military and extremist Israeli settlers - the policy has been an abysmal failure. Like most if not all policies designed to humiliate and degrade, the policy of withholding bodies only fans the flames of unrest and desperation among Palestinians.

On November 5, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon himself conceded as much, saying that "holding onto bodies is in itself not a deterrent." He then announced that dead bodies would be returned on a "case-by-case basis," as if that were a step toward rapprochement rather than the continuation of a cruel and arbitrary system in which Israel may deny mourners access to their loved ones' bodies at any time.

....you can be damned sure no one in their right mind would be praising his attempted murder. They'd all be reaching out to the victims' families.

Just the opposite with those claiming to be pro-Palestinian, who defend the PA inciting, praising, and rewarding any terror attack that claims a Jew for a victim.

The man was a terrorist, murderer.

Since when is anyone supportive of that kind of scum irrelevant of who's "people " he is?

but once again his FB statement,

All the stories about the supposed statement stem from the OP, which is the single source for it. I'm always wary when there no other source for a story. If the story is true, other sources will back it up eventually, but for now, I'm a skeptic.
