Isn't it rather for the Arabs to accept the Universal Charter of Human Rights? <br /><br />- It puts on the same footing the contribution of the Jews and of the Arabs to humanity whereas if the Jews brought justice and freedom to the world by the 10 commandments, the Arabs imposed a brutal and unjust submission wherever they conquered.<br /> <br />It is a good thing to establish relations with our neighbors, but it cannot be done at the expense of truth and in confusion. <br />Our history, of us Jews who suffered under the totalitarian rule imposed by conquering Islam, must not be erased in irrelevant and obsequious bows.<br />The aim of our center / museum / memorial project is to make known the historical truth and not to lie for "diplomacy". <br />This MOU bodes badly for the continuation of events: if we start thus by leaving aside the truth, where are we going? <br />That is why, having researched and reflected for several years on the project for a center dedicated in Jerusalem to the history and culture of jews from muslim countries, we should be involved in the major decisions that will be taken from now on. <br /><br />Our project has been taken over abusively by two individuals which offered to help and instead left us out of the loop entirely.<br />This is a recioe for disaster.<br /><br />Jean-Loup Mordekhaï Msika<br />https://jewishrefugees.blogspot.com/2017/07/jerusalem-museum-of-jews-from-arab.htmlJean-Loup Msikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03438656382100368384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-8587805463682707312020-12-19T17:35:16.504+00:002020-12-19T17:35:16.504+00:00It ought toIt ought tobataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-90613765701796731872020-12-09T23:02:20.303+00:002020-12-09T23:02:20.303+00:00Would this museum include the history of the Hijaz...Would this museum include the history of the Hijazi Jews massacred by Mohamed and his followers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
