“Watching the brutal bombing and killing of children this last year has been heartbreaking. And knowing that our public institutions are complicit in these attacks is terrible. How can a museum dedicated to science and innovation for young people take money earned from the sale of weapons used to kill thousands of children?”
The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza following the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023, in which, according to Israeli tallies, around 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage. More than 54,000 people have been killed in Gaza since that date, according to the territory’s health ministry.
