A Child's View from Gaza art exhibit cancelled after pro-Israeli pressure

[trud]

"Succumbing to enormous pressure from the Jewish Federation and the Jewish Community Relations Council of the East bay, the Museum of Children's Art (MOCHA) in Oakland cancelled an exhibit of Palestinian children's art called "A Child’s View From Gaza." MOCHA and the Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA) had been working together for several months to bring this exhibit to the Bay Area community.

On September 8, 2011, MOCHA's Board President Hilmon Sorey informed MECA that the museum would not show the children's artwork. The exhibit was due to open on September 24, 2011."
