Editing because although plausible it is fake news

"The British Museum in London has announced it will remove references to Palestine from its ancient Middle East displays. A group of pro-Israel lawyers wrote to the museum to remove the term from exhibits on ancient Levant and Egypt. Marchella Ward from The Open University weighs in."

This is apparently not true, it was made up by a fascist-sympathetic newspaper and spread as if it were true:

I have not been around to the British Museum to check, but I could do so.

@passenger Thanks for the tip, good that it is not true I wonder what sinister motives are behind this fake news.... considering all that is happening to silence anything pro-Palestine it did not seem impossible to me.

Yeah it did not seem impossible at all, and there are people in the UK trying to make it happen, sadly. Pro-genocide sentiment is fairly common among rich White people here.

More lies from the #DailyTelegraph a notoriously right wing rag that has been pulled up many times over printing stuff without verification.
