Disgust
My understanding is that these cemeteries are tended by locals in the various countries around the world where they are located. I know when in France and Belgium my tourist guide commented that there was competition amongst those paid to maintain the cemeteries to have the best looking plot.
My point is there is probably a lot of local Libyans who are also very upset at what has happened by those portrayed in the video.
And looking at them they mostly appear to be young people who obviously have something to prove. To that end maybe they should be given an opportunity to make their point.
... Perhaps if they would like to put their bloody AK47's down for a few minutes and sort out their hang ups by stepping into a ring with a couple of representatives of our diggers descendants. Maybe Ben Roberts-Smith and Mark Donaldson for example.
They can desecrate the graves but they can't change the history they represent. As suggested above, maybe they would prefer to be goose stepping.
