I was appalled by the decision of the Wiesenthal Centre to erect a "Museum of Tolerance" on top of a Muslim cemetry in Jerusalem. What kind of tolerance is it to show such utter disregard to a holy site of another religion? Just imagine a Museum of Tolerance on top of a Jewish cemetery in the USA or any country for that matter. There would be an immediate and furious outcry, and rightly so. Surely tolerance means respect and rapprochement between people, not trampling on their rights and sensitivities. I beg the decision makers of the centre to think again instead of inflaming feelings even further. That would be true tolerance.
