Haaretz special report on the MOT

Haaretz has been running a story on the soon to be built Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem. Specifically the backlash against it within certain areas of Israel (the political left and most of the non-Jewish residents). The issue is that the museum is being built on top of a Muslim cemetery that dates back to at least the 14th century.

Recently a report came out showing that the bodies have been damaged by the company hired to excavate the area. http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/2010/may/19/excavators-accused-of-desecration/

You forgot the essence: what's its purpose?

Purpose: which is...? We don't have a single word about why it's being built, neither the officially declared purpose, nor what critics see as its less visible implications. You can't post an article about a topic lacking a definition! Arminden (talk) 08:34, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Made a start. Now it's up to us to figure out what's hiding behind the weasel words of the SWC. Tolerance for what & whom? Harmony between whom? What's the justification for this mammoth project, just across the street from another weird museum, the FOZ (here)? Forget the cemetery for a minute (and after that read what Hajj Amin al-Husseini said when his project, quite expectedly, stumbled over old bones – just for the sake of perspective, not for anything else).
