MIT’s Noam Chomsky and Barbara Lubin of the Middle East Children’s Alliance discuss A Child’s View of Gaza, the book of Palestinian children’s artwork slated for exhibition at the Oakland Museum of Children’s Art. The exhibition was cancelled at the last minute without explanation. Have children become pawns in a larger conflict? How has this come about? What does it say about the possibilities for peaceful resolution of the Israeli/Palestinian impasse?

This was NOT children’s art. That is the point. This all came to a point when the art was displayed outside the Museum. There were children in the artwork but it was not by children.
