Renowned architect Frank Gehry (who happens to be Jewish) has pulled out of the proposed Museum of Tolerance that the Simon Wiesenthal Center has planned to build. The site for the museum in Jerusalem is an old Muslim cemetery. The Wiesenthal Center's decision to proceed at the site irrespective of the sacred nature of the land has led to strong opposition from everywhere. Gehry's decision is to be applauded and appreciated. Send notes of appreciation to info@foga.com
What is most ironic in the whole story is the intolerance of the "Museum of Tolerance". On their website, the Simon Wiesenthal claims to be a "human rights organization dedicated to repairing the world one step at a time". I guess their definition of repairing the world is removing all evidence of Palestinian existence in furtherance of the Zionist state.

I guess the next thing we are going to hear is that Gehry is an anti semitic self hating Jew. From one semite to another, pick a better site if you want to have any semblance of credibility.

More irony from the Jewish American front is the controversy between the Republican Jewish Coalition and the National Jewish Democratic Council.

What is interesting from the story is that anti semitism is expanded beyond just beliefs or sayings that are prejudiced against semites (Note: Jews aren't the only Semites). Anti semitism is failing to repudiate abusive Holocaust comparisons and anti-Semitic remarks. So you are anti semitic if you don't automatically seek out all anti semitic statements and unacceptable holocaust comparisons and repudiate them expeditiously. It alse seems that for one to use the word holocaust in a comparison, you have to acquire the intellectual property rights.
