Erasing a Word Erases a People: Reinstate Palestine in the British Museum:
Sign the Petition
The British Museum has recently removed the word “Palestine” from several displays in its Ancient Middle East galleries, claiming the term is “anachronistic.” This decision is not supported by historical evidence and contributes to a wider pattern of erasing Palestinian presence from public memory. The term Palestine has been used for over two millennia. It appears in: Herodotus (5th century BCE)
