You mean, were probably worried the exhibit would turn into some focal point for protests or vandalism or something, which, tbf, they could have just said and people probably would’ve just shrugged and went “yea, I guess that makes sense…”
Probably not, nothing advocates hate more than learning someone is specifically going out of their way to avoid them having a stage. Doesn’t matter if it hits the other side too, if you’re fired up enough to be in the streets you’re probably also fired up enough to be outraged by any act that even implies equivocation by affecting both sides equally.
I think that’s going to really depend on what kind of person you are.
As I originally said, I think had they gone “we are museum. museum protect artifacts. exhibit closed, go away. oh, and fuck you.” people would’ve been mildly irritated, but fine. Their attempt to be tactful about it, ironically, backfired. That actually happens somewhat often to people, just in general. Tact is often very challenging, people do not have to interpret your words the way you think they normally would. It doesn’t really follow any rules, it’s extremely situational and inconsistent. Like rng. It depends most on exactly which specific words you used, not the content of your idea.
I wonder if Dune part 2 will get screened at all.
Should make the “Islamic Art” exhibit out of all the videos and pictures from the 10-7 atrocities committed by Hamas.
There’s your exhibit, you can make a pile of Israeli victims and Palestinian victims from just this one war and add to it every day.
Guess which pile is already bigger?
There is only one pile, victims of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Sure, bud.
Because all of the world’s 1.8 billion Muslims are responsible for Hamas?
Are all of the world’s 16 million Jews responsible for Israel?
