The Burning Man festival removed a massive pro-Palestine sculpture from the list of art installations set to be on display at the massive gathering this summer.
More than 1,000 people signed an online petition demanding the 8-foot-by-14-foot fiberglass watermelon titled “From the River to the Sea” previously listed on the event’s website be removed — but organizers said the listing was only submitted to cause a “stir” and likely won’t be part of the annual festival in the Nevada desert.
“The phrase ‘From the River to the Sea’ is more than just words; it is a battle cry that legitimizes violence against Jewish people and promotes a vision that denies the Jewish state’s right to exist,” the petitioners argued.
The phrase is a popular one among anti-Israel protesters since the war began on Oct. 7 with Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel.
“There is no place for hate and antisemitism at all!” one of the petition’s signers commented. “Especially in a festival promoting freedom and acceptance! Shame!”
