Palestinians attack Dead Sea Scrolls in Toronto
“We do not object to the Dead Sea Scrolls being accessible to the public,”
the statement continues. “The issue we raise relates to Israel’s looting of Palestinian artifacts and the ROM’s complicity by lending legitimacy to it by hosting the exhibit.”
These issues cumulated in a protest outside of the museum by anti-Israel activists on Friday. There were no more than 30 protesters, most of them Jews from the Not in Our Name organization, according to Sally Szuster of the United Jewish Appeal Federation of Greater Toronto.
