Defy Israeli orders

In an act of defiance, your family decides to hold the funeral during the day. People flock to pay their respects and you feel glad that you could celebrate Musa's life surrounded by so many well-wishers.

After the ceremony, many of your son's friends, pumped up on anger at the loss of life, decide to protest near a military checkpoint. They throw stones at the heavily armed guards, an enduring image of the First Intifada, who respond with extreme force.

Sadly, one of your son's close friends is rushed to hospital after being shot in the chest. He doesn't survive the journey and the next day you pay your respects to yet another mother who has just lost her son.
