26 Seattle museum staff protested, closing the exhibit addressing antisemitism, anti-black, and anti-Asian hate, leading Jewish groups to independently exhibit it.

26 staff members at Seattle's Wing Luke Museum protested and caused the closure of the museum, leading to the cancellation of the "Confronting Hate Together" exhibit addressing antisemitism, anti-black and anti-Asian hate. Jewish groups will now independently exhibit the project, focusing on the experiences of all three targeted communities. The original staff members, part of a group called WLM4Palestine, argued the exhibit framed Palestinian liberation and anti-Zionism as antisemitic, while Jewish groups claim antisemitism is at its highest level in over 40 years without the exhibit.
