rachel ,   usa   (05.18.08)
some have become roads ..and everyone walks on the graves ......http://www.theforgottenrefugees.com/
2. I know what they feel...
Menahem ,   Paris   (05.18.08)
Why anyone of them protest against the total destruction of the Jewish cemetary of Tunis in 1960 , ? Transformed by muslims for a public garden it was also a sacred place for us, Jews of Tunis but Jews never have a deputy in this counry.........
3. Injustice
lynne ,   USA   (05.18.08)
The Muslim cemetery must be respected. I am Jewish, and I want the cemeteries of the Jewish people to be respected and maintained, so why would I want anything less for our Muslim friends or for anyone else? Treat others as you would want you own family to be treated.

8. To quote your poet Mahmoud Darwish
Thomas   (05.18.08)
Dig up your dead and leave.
9. What is the Truth Here?
35 years in Court!!? ,   USA   (05.18.08)
I had once read that this land was not used to bury Arab dead until after the land was purchased by a Jew, and only then did the Arabs begin to bury their dead in defiance of a Jew owning that land and his wanting to develop it. It has been in the court for 35 years! while the Arabs continued to bury their dead on known Jewish land for the purpose of making an issue of it and swaying the court. So what is the truth here?
10. # 1 and 2 and to all who think like you
dafer ,   jerusalem   (05.18.08)
just imagine this being done to you or your loved ones
11. A sad state
Ann ,   Israel   (05.18.08)
How dare we do this, The Arabs of Jaffa are also citizens of Israel. They and their dead deserve respect. As an Israeli Jewish woman and as a human being, It was wrong to do this to us in Arab counties, tell me does that make it right for us to do it to someone else? What is sad the best way to save this cemetery, someone needs to discover 2,000 year old bones of a Jew. We should be ashamed of ourselfs
12. to 1 & 2 & ?????

14. Outrageous. If the did it to us Jews we would yell
semsem ,   New York, USA   (05.18.08)
This is wrong. When it is done on us Jews we yell. So why do it to them? It's wrong and a solution must be negotiated.
