RACESo it turns out that the massacre of Israelis has prompted a bit of a mask off moment for many in the Social Justice world. Here’s one calling for some Palestinian “energy” amongst African-Americans.

Honestly it was really sad for that particular case. There was a museum built for them and promises that they'd be for the people. Only to vanish into that private collection instantly as a 'gift' to the ruler. It could've been a great moment where everyone would've been able to see them but it got ruined.

Not to mention the idiocy of giving them away that fast means no one else is going to give any back to them so really they screwed themselves over.

That's just unrealistic.

The real grift is in the endless cycle: The country returns the artifacts to the country. The person who gets them for the country sells them to a private collector. The private collector donates it to another country's museum. THAT COUNTRY's people get mad at them. The museum sends it back to the country, they sell it, and the cycle continues.
