Protesters Rally Outside Israeli Embassy Party at British Museum

Protesters Rally Outside Israeli Embassy Party at British Museum
SHARE

A high-profile private ceremony held at the British Museum in London recently sparked controversy and protests as politicians and public figures gathered to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the creation of the State of Israel. The event, organized by the Israeli Embassy, saw notable figures like Maria Eagle, Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch, and Jimmy Carr in attendance.

However, outside the museum gates, a different narrative unfolded as activists protested the celebration, highlighting the historical harm inflicted upon Palestinians during the Nakba in 1948. Organized by the grassroots group Energy Embargo for Palestine (EEFP), the demonstration shed light on the ongoing Israeli military bombardment of Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of over 100 Palestinians in recent days.

The British Museum, where the event took place, distanced itself from the ceremony, stating that it was held on a commercial basis and not in partnership with the institution. EEFP activists criticized the museum for hosting an event celebrating Israel while the country continues to commit what they describe as war crimes and genocide in Gaza.

In addition to condemning the Israeli celebration, EEFP has been vocal about the British Museum’s ties to British Petroleum (BP), a corporate sponsor with natural gas licenses from the Israeli Ministry of Energy. The group is calling on the museum to disclose its connections to Israel and terminate its partnership with BP.

The protest was met with counterprotests from pro-Israel groups, and tensions escalated as activists alleged heavy-handed tactics by the police, including intimidation and threats of arrest. The Metropolitan Police defended their actions, stating that restrictions were imposed on the protest to prevent disruption and maintain public order.

EEFP members expressed outrage at the suppression of their voices and vowed to continue advocating for Palestinian rights. The controversy surrounding the event underscores the complex intersection of politics, activism, and corporate sponsorship in the cultural sphere.
