Indiana University Has Canceled a Retrospective on Artist Samia Halaby

Indiana University’s Eskenazi Museum of Art has cancelled an upcoming show of work by Palestinian artist Samia Halaby.

The cancellation came shortly after Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana, a Republican, sent a letter to the university saying it could lose federal funding if so-called “antisemitism” was allowed on campus.

Antisemitism like allowing a Palestinian artist to exhibit abstract art? It’s almost as if some people consider it antisemitic just to admit that Palestinian people exist and have a voice.

It’s antisemitic to be Palestinian, obviously.
Israel and allies have spent enormous resources convincing themselves and anyone they can that Palestinians don’t exist.
