Fifteen years ago digging was started not far from my home in Northern Jerusalem to lay a foundation for an overpass bridge that was being built. A few weeks into the project, some ancient graves were uncovered. Archeologists were called in and it was determined that these graves were of Jewish origin dating back to the First Temple Period.
Within minutes of these ‘findings’ hundreds of ultra orthodox Jews began assembling at the site. Shortly afterwards there was an angry mob of them that was determined to make sure the graves would not be desecrated. The archeologists were keen on moving them to a museum, to be put on display, the ‘mob’ would not allow that to happen.
Obviously, none of the dead had any close living relatives in the area, but they were Jewish remains that according to Jewish Law must be treated with the utmost of respect…. based on the following….. According to Orthodox Judaism, a non-Jew (goy) is inferior to a Jew in every conceivable aspect. This inferiority is absolute, inherent, intrinsic, and not subject to any related or unrelated factors.
Rabbi Abraham Kook, the religious mentor of the settler movement, taught that “the difference between a Jewish soul and souls of non-Jews — all of them in all different levels — is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle.”
The teachings of Kook are based on the Lurianic Cabala (Jewish mysticism), which teaches the absolute superiority of the Jewish soul and body over the non-Jewish soul and body. This means, according to one Rabbi who is member of the Chabadi Lubovitcher sect, that “every simple cell in a Jewish body entails divinity and is part of God.” (taken from)
The ‘mob’ remained at the site 24/7 for weeks not allowing any work to proceed on the bridge, until the city of Jerusalem finally agreed to give in to their demands and make new plans which would move the bridge a few metres away from the graves in question, leaving them in tact.
In another part of Jerusalem, work is under way today to build a ‘Museum of Tolerance and Human Dignity’…. on the site of a Muslim cemetery. Relatives of the deceased have gone as far as petitioning the United Nations to find an alternate site. A number of human remains have already been crushed and destroyed during construction, but the city Fathers have turned a deaf ear to the protests of the living relatives, unwilling to even discuss the matter with them.
The museum is meant to be a tool to educate the locals in Tolerance and Human Dignity. It has, so far, only demonstrated the arrogance of zionism.Only Jews have a say about anything in the Jewish State…. even if they are dead.
