YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Saif Musallet was just weeks away from celebrating his 21st birthday, and as he visited his family here, the Florida native’s thoughts began to turn toward marriage.

“I think it’s time for me to get married,” Musallet told his father, Kamel, during a phone call last week. “Hopefully while I’m here, I’m able to find a future spouse to get engaged to.”

That phone call would be Kamel’s last conversation with his son. Days later, Saif was beaten to death by Israeli settlers, according to his family and eyewitnesses.

Musallet was one of two men killed that day by settlers, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry, while they were in the neighboring town of Sinjil, where their families own farmland.

Hundreds turned out on Sunday, braving the afternoon sun, for the funeral processions of the two men, carrying their bodies to their final resting place. Some mourners openly wept, burying their faces in the Palestinian flags wrapped around the bodies.
