The British Museum has altered the labelling of some of its ancient Middle Eastern artifacts—substituting “Canaan” for “Palestine”—after UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) claimed the term inaccurately described civilizations that existed centuries before the term “Palestine” was coined.

The decision of Britain’s premier cultural institution to cave into Zionist browbeating has prompted a furious backlash from scholars in Middle Eastern history, archaeologists and experts in ancient Levantine cultures. They have criticised the British Museum’s decision as “part of a ‘systematic’ attack on Palestinian cultural identity” that contributes to the erasure of Palestinian history. Some 6,800 have signed a petition calling on the British Museum to reinstate the labels.

I will never get, why would anyone want to have anything to do with israel. We are being told about them being surrounded by ugly terrorists and just protecting themselves. The terrorists in neighboring countries are caused by UK and USA sticking their oil covered fingers into everyone's business and israel terrorizing the whole region.

Israel has played the antisemitic and genocide cards non-stop since it's formation to justify their racism and ethnic elitism. It's no wonder they're the Nazis now
