That's excessively revulsive.
Well, if they allow Palestinian graves to remain, it might remind people that Palestinians used to live there. This is part of what cleansing is all about. Remove the people, their language, culture, and any trace of them.

That's why ISIS blew up 3000-year-old archaeological sites: there shall be no culture but theirs. Nothing to inspire wonder, curiosity, or any thought or feeling at all; because if people have no room to think of anything but what they are told, they cannot deviate from what they are told.

It's a tweet posted by Seanchaidh. There's a 99% chance it's lying to you, and those graves aren't being destroyed at all.

Yep, the grave site, the mother, the earth mover, the upturned earth, the armed men; all CGI!
You mean the upturned dirt next to the grave, from the project they were working on adjacent to the cemetery, which they stopped work on when they encountered unexpected bones (which to be fair, is kinda dumb, but doesn't make your take accurate by any means). You got any tweets of that grave actually being disturbed?

I can think of a few instances in history of this sort of thing being done (or people trying to do it).
It's generally not a good thing.

And if they were digging next to that grave for something more simple like a new grave, and needed to remove her to keep her safe from the digging equipment, would you be up in arms?

"Keep her safe from digging equipment"? That's your explanation for someone literally trying to drag her forcibly by the arm away from a relative's grave? That's pathetic.

If a crew was using heavy machinery to dig an adjacent grave in literally any country on earth, they would ask that woman to leave. If someone is asked to leave a work site where people have a permit to dig with heavy machinery, they will be moved before work continues. That's not exceptional or genocidal, it's common sense to move people out of the way of construction machines.

Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what's going on

This hypothetical adjacent grave would still be in the plot of land- a centuries old cemetery- that they are turning into a Bible theme park.

Do you understand how far removed this is from the initial implication that they're pulling a woman off her son's grave so they can destroy it?

...because they're pulling a woman off her son's grave so they can destroy it and turn it into a theme park?

Not very far removed, actually. Kinda spot on

They aren't destroying his grave. No marked graves were touched.

Lmao

Says the Israeli government, who's also bulldozing homes to build illegal settlements
Says every piece of information I could find, including the ones blatantly abusing ambiguous language to demonize the Israelis (they're building a walking path around the old city, they've declared the space a national park to do so, it's not an amusement park). If you've got a source showing marked graves being demolished, feel free to provide it.
