Protesters in the Museum of Modern Art accuse several board members of supporting the Israeli genocide and war crimes in Gaza.

New York, February 12 (RHC)-- In New York City, hundreds of Palestinian rights activists occupied the Museum of Modern Art Saturday, forcing the museum to close to the public.  

Protesters unfurled massive banners and handed out mock MoMA pamphlets in which they called out museum trustees for their investments in Israeli weaponry and other industries. 

Another protest was organized outside the Brooklyn Museum, also in New York.  The actions came as an open letter signed by over 100 cultural workers condemned the “disgraceful silence of our institutions as Israel commits genocide in Gaza.”
