The British Museum has removed the word #Palestine from displays about the ancient Middle East following complaints.
Maps and information boards about ancient Egypt and the seafaring Phoenicians labelled the eastern coast of the Mediterranean as Palestine, and some peoples were described as being “of Palestinian descent”
And so the British Museum has decided to remove that word.
Who do you think made those complaints?

@Geri Referring to the Egyptian god, Is Ra Eligible to put in such a request?

@Geri Definitely About time they removed the word 'British' from their title.

@Geri I’ve never visited The Museum before. But now The Museum has done this I’ll make sure I don’t visit The Museum. I’ve decided though to rename The Museum to The Museum since the other word The Museum had in its title referred to a nation guilty of global mass murder. How terrible The Museum has removed references to Palestine.

@Geri Palestine is not a word that can be erased; Palestine is history, land, and our steadfastness.

Au : conservateur du muséeOh bravo ! nous y sommes aussi !

Quel comble alors que vous êtes censé les protéger les exposer et les faire connaitre !Je pourrai vous écrire depuis le Golfe d'Arabie ou celui d'Amérique, NON je vous écrirai toujours depuis le golfe Persique ou celui du Mexique.
Et la Méditerranée écrasera toujours ses vagues sur les côtes de #Palestine. -

@Geri "Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir
Rowing home to haven in sunny REDACTED,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine."
Afraid of a word, they are. I honestly despair. -

@Geri Labour Friends of Israel, and other similar organisations, I have no doubt. They may as well get rid of the entire Bible at this rate - why would any deity be encouraging the people to flee, or to fight when there’s no opponent?
This is appalling, and the Museum should be boycotted forthwith. So much of the treasures and items there belong to other civilisations and other countries and they should be returned forthwith. -

@Geri Who made those complaints? People who object to fake history. The word "Palestine" was used by Roman (European) imperialists for what was left over after their genocide in Israel/Judea. There is no evidence of prior use.

I will be writing to the Museum.
I hope others will too.
It isn't the most effective action, but for many it is feasible, and it will let them know that this won't slide without us knowing their complicity.
