An antisemitic sculpture has been removed by the Burning Man festival.
The piece was set to be included as part of an art installation set to be on display during the massive event this summer.
The 8-foot-by-14-foot fiberglass watermelon has the genocidal title “From the River to the Sea” and was previously listed on the event’s website as part of the installation, but organizers suggest it was only submitted to cause a “stir” and “likely won’t be part of the annual festival.”
A petition signed by more than 1,100 people demanded its removal.
The petitioners argued in the petition:
We, the undersigned, urgently call for the removal of the “From the River to the Sea” art installation at the Burning Man event.
