"perhaps the biggest difficulty for the current leadership of the EAA...is that it may even be out of line with significant voices among Israeli archaeologists, some of whom are indeed stating that their own Government is breaching those basic ethical principles referred to by Dr Kamash and Dr Moen"

Principled & fully correct decisions by Drs Kamash & Moen: I cannot respect them more! Also, shame on the EAA! Still, I'm very hopeful in seeing these resignations when so many are easily swayed by bogus narratives, bullying tactics & pressures to stay silent. Solidarity!

Though this looks sad, I take it differently. When there are people who are still prepared to put ethical principles before their personal ambitions, there is hope for the future. THANK YOU, Zena and Marianne! The EAA has started looking like an empty shell.

Hey, remember the local elections in 2016, when Corbyn's Labour lost 18 seats which meant he was unelectable and led to the co-ordinated mass public resignations of his front bench for the sake of the party? Those were the days, eh?
