A couple of days ago I was invited to guest on Levant TV, on their program “Forbidden Talk,” hosted by Anna Delaney. The topic of the program was the destruction of cultural and religious heritage in the Middle East. What sparked their interest in having me on the show was an article I wrote last month entitled, “Have Pillaged Iraqi Artifacts Ended Up in a Museum in Israel?” The article discusses an exhibition of ancient Babylonian cuneiform tablets now on display at the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem. The collection is owned by an Israeli collector, David Sofer, but questions have been raised about how he came into possession of it.
If you haven’t read the article, you can access it here. And you can also visit the Levant TV web page here.
