Palestinians protest against the construction of a Jewish-sponsored museum dedicated to tolerance and coexistence in Jerusalem, Thursday, Nov. 6, 2008. Israel's Supreme Court on Wednesday Oct. 29, 2008 rejected appeals by Muslims fighting construction of the museum, on a site covering part of an ancient Muslim cemetery. A court statement said judges ruled that as no objections had been lodged in 1960 when the city put a parking lot over a small section of the graveyard they would not block construction of the museum on that same site now.
