Pardon my French, but fucking unbelievable! "The Museum of Children’s Art in Oakland (MOCHA) has decided to cancel an exhibit of art by Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip. The Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA), which was partnering with MOCHA to present the exhibit, was informed of the decision by the Museum’s board president on Thursday, September 8, 2011. For several months, MECA and the museum had been working together on the exhibit, which is titled 'A Child’s View From Gaza.'
"MECA has learned that there was a concerted effort by pro-Israel organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area to pressure the museum to reverse its decision to display Palestinian children’s art." http://www.mecaforpeace.org/news/media-advisory-oakland-museum-childrens-art-shuts-down-palestinian-children%E2%80%99s-exhibit MECA should issue an action alert via their Web site tomorrow. In the meantime, feel free to go ahead and tell these bastards what you think: http://freepalestinemovement.org/mocha.html https://www.facebook.com/pages/mocha-museum-of-childrens-art/353137473222 http://twitter.com/MOCHAorg http://mocha.org/visit/contact-us -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað." _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
