78. That's not the same cemetary, barb...
And from the little you did post (I couldn't get to the article to read it as registration is needed), the bones were found AFTER construction had started, and it sounds like the relocation was done in a respectful manner and sanctioned by Muslim religious leaders. Contrast that to an ancient cemetary where the owners have had the land taken from them by Israel, and the building of a *tolerance* museum on the burial site. There's nothing the slightest bit tolerant about that, and if this museum is truly about tolerance, they'd have the common-sense to build it somewhere where there's no chance of destroying ancient burial sites, coz I doubt any *tolerance* museum would like even the slightest whiff of being involved in the continual attempts to strip Jerusalem of as much of the former presence of Palestinians as possible...
