Old bones
Jewish families have filed a petition with the United Nations over Muslim plans to build a “Museum of Tolerance” over the historic Willesden Jewish Cemetery in Willesden, England.
Opponents of the project have long questioned how a monument to tolerance can be built on the remains of the graves of generations of Jewish people.
The British Supreme Court has ruled that the project could go ahead.
The Muslims plan are to remove the bodies of the Jewish people buried in Willesden Cemetery and pack them in carboard boxes for storage until they can be quietly disposed of.
The Muslims also plan to build a 25ft. wall around the Cemetery to keep out the Jews.
The local Rabbi said he was really shocked by what he saw.
“I went into Willesden Jewish cemetery, and I saw a wall that’s probably twenty-five feet high, surrounded by surveillance cameras, which is where they’re building this so-called Museum of Tolerance”, he said
