The British Museum has decided to postpone a lecture that was part of its Jewish culture month programming. The museum cited concerns about potential disruptions from protesters as the reason for the postponement.
The lecture, which was intended to focus on ancient Israel and Judah, was originally scheduled to take place on Thursday. However, the museum announced that the event will now be rescheduled for an unspecified future date.
This decision has drawn criticism from various commentators and advocates for free speech, as well as from the leader of the Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch.
