Sinopsis

The British Museum  has removed the word “Palestine” from some of its displays, saying the term was used inaccurately and is no longer historically neutral. Maps and information panels in the museum’s ancient Middle East galleries had referred to the eastern Mediterranean coast as Palestine, with some people described as being “of Palestinian descent”. The decision came after concerns were raised by UK Lawyers for Israel. KAn's Mark Weiss spoke with the  Chief Executive of the organization, Johnathan Turner.
