Over the past couple of years a number of friends, most particularly Gershon Baskin of the Israel/Palestine Center for Research Institute (IPCRI) have periodically distributed information concerning the Mamilla Cemetery in Jerusalem which is the proposed site for a Museum of Tolerance. Mamilla Cemetery is an historic site and a Muslim burial ground.
A vote is expected at the United Nations next week. A petition is being circulated to be presented to the UN Human Rights Council on March 22nd.
The issues were recently reported at the Inter-Faith Peace Builders conference in Washington, D.C.
FOR encourages readers to be informed and to sign the petition.
The petition demands that the competent Israeli authorities act:
1. To immediately halt further construction of the Simon Wiesenthal Center "Museum of Tolerance" on part of the Mamilla Cemetery site in Jerusalem;
