Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent: Arabs rally against construction of Jerusalem museum on Muslim cemetery
Talkback
Title:Time to end the farce of this museum.

City: UKState:
This museum of tolerance sounds like such a bad idea on so many levels -

1) It`s built on a Muslim cemetery which doesn`t seem terribly tolerant.
2) It`s in Jerusalem, sacred to three large, and often not very tolerant, religions.
3) It`s in the centre of an area at the heart of a gigantic and intolerant political struggle
4) Tolerance is like kindness. It`s a huge, warm living human thing. You can`t case it in glass and stick it in a museum.
5) Because of 4, it sounds REALLY, REALLY boring. I love museums, but a museum of tolerance just sounds about the most boring thing ever - a place only visited by reluctant groups of schookids dragged there.
