TL;DR Summary

Half the staff at the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle walked out in protest of an exhibit condemning antisemitism, claiming it promotes "white supremacist perspectives" by supporting Zionism. The museum is now closed indefinitely, and the staff demands changes to the exhibit to include pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist voices. The museum's leadership has indicated a willingness to consider these changes, sparking criticism that this would perpetuate hate rather than confront it. Local media coverage has been criticized for downplaying the antisemitism involved.
