Seattle museum staffers walk off job to protest hateful anti-Semitic exhibit


Twenty-six Seattle museum staffers have walked off the job and shut down the art center in protest of an exhibit "Confronting Hate Together" exhibit. They posit that the exhibit conflates "anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism," which is an accurate assessment.

The workers walked off the job on Wednesday, when the exhibit first opened. They comprise about half the total of Wing Luke Museum workers and this forced the museum to close and they promised to stay 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 racists, 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.” 

Can I get an Allahu Akbar!

Workers plan to stay off the job until the museum meets their four demands.

The striking workers are attempting to strong-arm their employer to remove language from the exhibit that “attempt[s] to frame Palestinian liberation and anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism,” [which, of course. it is] acknowledge its “limited perspectives,” conduct a community review of it and “center voices and perspectives that align with the museum’s mission and values,” the group wrote on social media.

The exhibit is designed to explore anti-Asian American, Native American and Pacific Islander hate, Black hate and anti-Jewish hate, according to the museum’s website. 

The show was supposed to run from Wednesday through June 30. However, the pro-hate strikers, disguised as anti-hate, virtuous individuals put the caboosh on it.

Part of the display that the striking anti-Semitic staffers are taking issue with is a panel from the Jewish Historical Society that starts off saying, “Today, anti-Semitism is often disguised as anti-Zionism.”

If you don't believe that's true, ask any anti-Zionist how they feel about the, you know, Jews.

The disgruntled workers raised concerns about how the exhibit “conveyed Zionist perspectives,” according to their social media post. 

Nobody in that group wants to hear from the Jews on the matter in spite of the fact that Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people dating back thousands of years, long before there ever was an Islam.

Can I get an Amen!
