Nearly 30 Seattle museum staffers have shut down the art center in protest of its new “Confronting Hate Together’’ exhibit, claiming portions of the show “conflate anti-Zionism as antisemitism.”
The workers, who form about half of the staff at the Wing Luke Museum, stormed off the job Wednesday, the day the exhibit opened, forcing the site to close and vowing to remain on strike until their demands are met.
“Zionism has no place in our communities and being anti-Zionist goes hand in hand with our own liberation as AA/NHPI,” wrote the disgruntled staffers, who work at the only pan-Asian art and history museum in the United States. “Our solidarity with Palestine should be reflected in our AA/NHPI institutions.”

I did Nazi that coming.
FIRE THEM. I’m sure there are many, many people that would love a job at the museum.
first grammar school teachers
then higher education teachers
then museum educators
then government workers
eventually, the message becomes the new Truth
It’s not an accident and it was long seen coming. Remember the bomber in Chicago who taught grammar school and was Obama’s friend?
“anti-zionism” is not a conflation of anti-semitism because it, “anti-zionism” was born from anti-semitic (anti-Jeswish) sentiments, beliefs and agendas.
You can read those anitsemitic, anti-Jewish, positions right in the Arab and Muslim writers and leaders in the Middle East during WWII and intensifying post-WWII. They were all trying to proclaim the whole Middle East “blonged to them” and no one else at any claim to any square inch of it. That is what from the river to the sea meant - from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean sea EVERYTHING BLONGED to Muslims and Arabs alone.
I guess they’re in a snit, because people refuse to show the “positive side” of Anti-Zionism.
Never mind the fact that I don’t think any sane, normal person could even *see* a “positive side” to Anti-Zionism to begin with. But, apparently, this just makes me ‘ig’nant’ (at least according to the “woke”)
Are these museum workers in a union? Can you strike without being part of a union?
Bet they would also walk off the job if there was a display of what a baby looks like from conception to birth.
Meet the new Nazis as they out themselves for the world to see.
They ought to go to Wash DC and see the Holocaust Museum, and see gory examples of antisemitism. Their Seattle exhibits would pale in comparison. Bunch of nazis in Seattle.
As if they care if a Jew is a Zionist or not.
Forgive my ignorance but what flavor of alphabet people are AA/NHPI?
AA must mean Asian American but I had to look up NHPI. Apparently it means Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander.
The staffers mention their own “liberation” which must mean they were formerly oppressed, no doubt by Europeans one way or another. I guess it refers to colonialism.
The fact that asians are one of the highest achieving and highest earning ethnic groups in the United States is of course not to be mentioned. They would prefer to see themselves as “oppressed” like Palestinians and therefore possessing unlimited moral license to rage against the Israeli colonialist bad guys.
Slightly OT but I was in Target the other day and noticed they had a Pacific Islander section in their ethnic foods aisle. It was proudly marked with a sign. I guess PI must be the latest trendy victim category.
Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander. I had to look it up. I assume AA is Asian American.
Fire them all and hire new employees, you know, some that actually WANT to work there.
F’ them.
