Pro-Palestinian Protesters Damage Artwork and Shut Down Brooklyn Museum Friday
Pro-Palestinian protesters descended on the Brooklyn Museum Friday evening, shutting down the institution and damaging artworks in the museum lobby, according to a spokesperson for the museum.
Museum workers frantically rushed to lock the front doors but were quickly overcome by protesters who overtook the Brooklyn Museum’s lobby.
A group claiming to represent the protesters said the action targeted museum board members. It was not immediately clear whether anyone on the Brooklyn Museum Board of Trustees has direct ties to Israel or the war with Hamas.

Peaceful & non-violent protests? Damaging possibly irreplaceable artworks? Seems really dangerous to me. No police intervention?

Persons representing this aggressive mob stated that they were only targeting ‘some’ of the members of the board of directors. Most likely non-religious Jewish members. So for sure this wild & extreme protest was not just anti-Israel but, in fact, clearly anti-Semitic!!
