A museum of tolerance built on the graves of the relatives or ancestors of anyone is rediculous. Here in America if a construction project was happening and Native American remains were unearthed, the construction project most often times would be forced to stop. I can only imagine what would happen if the Palestinians wanted to build a museum on top of the remains of a Jewish cemetary, every extreme right wing nutjob would be outraged, and would do everything to stop them. It`s the eye for an eye policies that need to stop between the Israelis and the Palestinians. If you blow up a house with a family inside because a terrorist suspect happens to be walking across the street, and then you in turn shoot off home made rockets into southern Israel because of your outrage, and then the Israeli side in turn carrys out airstrikes that kill a family walking past a building where a terrorist target may be hold up, in turn bringing more rockets, it`s an endless cycle that needs to stop.
