By Sikni Hamka, published 23/11/2009

Israel is planning to build a Jewish museum on top of a Palestinian cemetery. It will be called the Museum of Tolerance.

odo is correct.

whether or not the museum is insensitive, whether or not there is now cause to complain, to leave out the parking lot stuff was importantly, perhaps critically, misleading. if this was an honest oversight, sikni should acknowledge it and apologise for it immediately. if it was not an oversight, one has good reason to not bother further with whatever sikni writes.

Hello Sikni,

Well haven't you stirred up the propagandists. I think you've hit a nerve, and your writing should resonate with anyone fair minded who has a modicom of loathing of injustice.

Well done keep it up.

cheers

Take note, Sir Ivor, that I did not mention Christianity, whioh did not start till after the Crucifixion, as every historian should know.

My main argument, of course, is how the Jews seem to final pal up with right wingers.

Except with the Nazis, of course, whom some writers say, saw through the Jews.

But what eventuated, of course, was Germany turning into a race of fiends treating Jews so horridly that the world is now allowing Israelies like Netanahu et al to get away wth much too much

Nazi = National Socialist. Socialist, socialist, socialist. Nothing right wing in that name.

Is history now being rewritten to turn socialists into rightwingers or rightwingers into socialists.

What color is black yelled the crowd, white called black the historians and rudd whimped it doesn't exist!

Some people will try to explain away anything with the biggest falsehoods.

Why all this concentration on some dumb museum and a graveyard?
The way I saw the article this was just used to introduce and illustrate the discrimination and "(in)tolerance" shown by israelis towards arab citizens.

"If your human rights are not for everybody then they are not rights they are just privileges".

Yes Mikk, you are correct it was used to introduce the article by attempting to inflame and skew passions at the outset, the rest of the article like water soup, no substance.

I do apologise for using Wiki folks, even though it was referenced, see those little numbers in the quote? Here's a reference you'll like even less http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/40380 I do note that the author got her quote from following a link from my Wiki reference, then denigrates Wiki, talk about selective. I agree, Wiki is like online graffiti, unless it is referenced, which my second quote was.

To all the hysterical ones who see right wing left wing nazi, jew, sympathiser everywhere, I don't care for your pompous analysis of "what I mean or meant", you are wrong, get over it.

I find it is insulting now as yesterday that the author is trying to inflame, here in Australia - that's my beef. I dont care about that region as they are all the same as each other, as the author proves, a bunch of conniving tricky and slippery liars.

grrr - get a grip, the frothing at the mouth routine just reflects on your poor grasp of anger management, reality and online opinion.

I still don't care one way or the other and feel sorry for the fools who have to see Israel related events as one of two options - you're the probelm with your polarised attitude and the perfect target for the original article, I see some of you loved it, how unusual!
