Palestine | International | Racial JusticePalestinian Families Appeal to UN Over Israeli Construction of "Museum of Tolerance" on Muslim Cemetery in Jerusalem
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 :Palestinian families have filed a petition with the United Nations over the Simon Wiesenthal Center's plans to build a "Museum of Tolerance" over the historic Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem. Opponents of the project have long questioned how a monument to tolerance can be built on the remains of the graves of generations of Palestinian Muslims. We speak to Columbia University professor and author Rashid Khalidi, a petitioner whose ancestors were buried at the Mamilla Cemetery; and Michael Ratner of the Center for Constitutional Rights, which is representing the families in their petition. Guests:
Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University’s Department of History and the author of several books, including Sowing Crisis: American Dominance and the Cold War in the Middle East and Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood. Michael Ratner, President of the Center for Constitutional Rights also joins us here in New York. LISTEN ONLINE
