Elder of Ziyon
Staffers from the British Museum have criticized its decision to allow the Israeli embassy in London to organize a party on its premises celebrating the 77th anniversary of the founding of Israel, The Art Newspaper reported Monday.Several staff members who did not want to be named told TAN that they were “furious” over the event, and have circulated an internal petition directed at the museum’s director, Nicholas Cullinan and the board of trustees. The petition, now signed by 250 pepole, demands that the museum end relations with Israeli cultural institutions.
Corporations and groups rent out facilities at the British Museum all the time. But somehow Israel acting like anyone else is considered beyond the pale.
Of course this is antisemitism.
Look at this justification they came up with:
According to TAN, the signatories of the petition indicated that they are worried that percieved support for Israel could damage the work of curators if foreign institutions decide not to partner with the museum. Other staff have argued that hosting the event violated the museum’s code of impartiality.
The first excuse says that since other people in the world might be bigoted against Jews, the museum must pre-emptively must go along with their bigotry.
The second excuse argues that treating Israel exactly like everyone else is a violation of impartiality.
Seriously, these are the arguments given by educated, cultured people to justify their modern form of Jew-hate.
