Israeli contractors dig up Muslim graves at 'museum of tolerance'

[SAMSON123]

Hmmm...I wonder what would happen if the Muslims dug up Isareli graves? What kind of outcry would the world be hearing and of course somehow all of this would be tied to the holocaust...of course. All of this shows who the provocateur is , who the terrorist is, who really has an interest in peace and who sees themselves as 'above all others'...Sickening..

Israeli contractors dig up Muslim graves at 'museum of tolerance'

Israeli contractors building a controversial "museum of tolerance" in West Jerusalem have been accused of digging up and damaging hundreds of human skeletons from an ancient Muslim graveyard.

Reigniting a dispute that has simmered for six years, Israel's left-leaning Haaretz newspaper claimed that overseers badly botched a "clandestine" five-month operation to excavate the highly-sensitive Mamilla Cemetery.

The allegations are almost certain to rouse anger among Palestinian campaigners who argue that the site holds the remains of some of the Prophet Mohammed's compatriots as well as soldiers in the army of Saladin, who recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders in the 12th century.
 

The planned museum has been the subject of acrimony ever since Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, formally inaugurated the project in a corner of the cemetery in 2004.

Two years ago, the Israeli Supreme Court dismissed a petition to prevent the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Centre from building the museum after hearing that any human remains discovered at the construction site would be excavated professionally and with dignity.

But according to Haaretz, up to 1,500 skeletons were discovered during the subsequent excavation -- far more than had been expected -- and many were treated with casual disdain.

Forced to work in secret and with undue haste, contractors at the site revealed that they were given just 15 minutes to pull skeletons out of the ground, leading to bones being trampled underfoot and skulls being damaged because of unsuitable digging equipment.

"They call this an archaeological excavation but it's really a clearing out, an erasure of the Muslim past," Gideon Sulimani, the Israeli Antiquities Authority chief excavator for the site, was quoted as saying.

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre, named after the famous Nazi hunter, has angrily denied the allegations.

"The remains were handled in keeping with the highest standards and the High Court's guidelines," it said in a statement.

"The attempt to cast aspersions on the researchers and excavators by means of false claims about harming the remains is outrageous and designed to agitate and increase hatred."

For someone who claims to be a follower of Jesus, you seem very attached to the stories of muslims, jews, and the ME no?

She just posted a Farrakhan video. If that doesn't scream "black Muslim" then I don't know what does. 

Every single one of Samson's ideologies falls in line with those of the militant Muslim crowd. Islamofascist? Check. Anti-American? Check. Anti-white? Check. Anti-Christian and Jew? Check. Spends her time deflecting attention off Islam and instead vilifies western society? Check. Uses taqiyya to masquerade as a Christian because she thinks it gives her credibility? Check. The list goes on and on.

Katwa scum.

     If these allegations are true... then heaven help the israelis... it'll be the only entity capable of doing so.

I don't care how crazy and illogical it sounds, but I am a firm believer in letting dead men rest, ...and to disturb the burial ground of an ancient army that kicked major ass... doesn't seem to me to be the brightest thing to do, ...especially not for the Israelis, ...and especially not that particular army. The metaphysical resurrection of  Saladin's army is the last thing israeli's need, and the very thing Zionists cannot afford.

Whether this becomes prominent in MSM will remain to be seen, ...but there is no doubt in my mind that it will become prominent in the minds & hearts of many... and there will be a shit storm of consequences as a result.

One doesn't have to be religious to see the entanglements (for want of a better word)... just a student of history

You'd think with the way the MSM is softening all of the anti-muslim stuff, they would jump on the chance to make Israel look like crap.

Where is this posted?

PS... people have been digging up graves of Jews and Christians for hundreds of years... so who gives a shit.

Based on the article, it looks like it was posted in Israel.

Contrary to popular western opinion, Israeli's are quite often very critical of their governments actions.
It's only within the Western media that we see unquestioning fealty to the israeli government and their policies.

Actually, it's down at the bottom, I don't think it was there originally, but if it was, I apologize.

Now... back to the original point... Many Jewish and Christian and Hindi people are dug up every day... So I don't see how this is a big deal.

Hell, in New Orleans, people are buried on top of each other.

New Orleans is BELOW sea level and therefore people are buried in shallow graves and in many cases above ground in tombs with multiple family members because of the water issue.
In any culture, religion, country it is a sacrilege to disturb the resting place of the dead for any reason. To commit such an egregious act is to display beyond contempt for the person, culture, religion and resting place. These Israhellis are doing this with the intent of stirring hostilities, animosities and provocations. I am so glad that these Ashkhanazis are NOT THE CHOSEN PEOPLE because woe to the world if this behavior and mindset is indicative of the people who are to rule the world to come.

Calm down, katwa trash. For all we know, these graves aren't Muslim (they probably aren't). The Muslims will argue that every grave there is Muslim while the Jews will argue that they're Jewish and I'm sure there are some Catholics that will argue that they're Christian graves. No one knows nor does anyone with an IQ over 40 care. Not that it matters regardless. The "Palestinians" systematically destroy any Christian or Jewish religious monuments or buildings in the areas that come under their control.

In short, no one gives a shit about your propaganda.

Because its situated smack bang in the middle of Jerusalem, the epicentre of world religious conflict and a national struggle between muslims and Jews. Thats why its a big deal.
