Israel Robs Palestinian Graves Then whines About Hamas.
Israeli Govt. Building Tolerance Museum Over Muslim Gravesite
In Israel, Palestinian groups have launched a legal battle to prevent the removal of several graves from an ancient Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem. The Israeli government has been excavating the site to make way for the construction of a $150 million dollar museum of tolerance built for the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Centre. According to its mission statement, the museum seeks the promotion of "unity and respect among Jews and between people of all faiths. The cemetery is at least 1,000 years old. The excavations are proceeding despite a temporary court ban. Durragham Saif, a lawyer for three Palestinian families challenging the project said: "It's unbelievable, it's immoral. You cannot build a museum of tolerance on the graves of other people.
