Palestinian mourning practices, like the *zin* ritual, are rooted in pre-Ottoman and Bedouin traditions of communal grief as resistance. The mass funeral at Sheikh Radwan echoes the *nakba*’s *martyrdom* (*shahada*) culture, where burial becomes an act of reclaiming narrative sovereignty. Indigenous knowledge here includes the *hut* (tent) as a mobile archive of names and dates—systematically destroyed in 2023–24, yet preserved in oral histories. The source omits how these practices are *strategic*: funerals disrupt Israeli military narratives by asserting Palestinian continuity despite genocide.
