Thirty three acres in Jerusalem are too valuable to waste on a Muslim ossuary. Haven't the great rabbis opined that G-d is able to resurrect the dead from even microscopic bone fragments? So Muslims need not worry about the souls of their ancestors. Lawsuits, petitions, special pleadings, etc. are a waste of time and effort.

Israel was meant to be where Jews would be safe; turns oput, that means safe to do to Jews what everyone else used to do to Jews.

Ashmai dismissed him. The proselyte then approached the great Rabbi, Hillel, and posed the same challenge. Hillel replied, "What you don't like, don't do to others. That is the Law, and the whole Law. The rest is mere commentary."
