BDS on exhibit

Anew champion in the tournament of New York City anti-Israel insanity: The Queens Museum moved to cancel an event commemorating the 70th anniversary of the vote supporting the establishment of the Jewish state, which took place within the museum’s very walls, back when the building served as the UN General Assembly’s first meeting hall.

The fact that, in the space of a few pressurefilled hours after that decision came to light, museum brass scrambled, then finally righted the wrong, makes the disgrace no less contemptible.

Wednesday came word that plans cemented in June, whereby the Israeli government was to rent a hall to honor the momentous day, were suddenly being scotched. The institution, recipient of millions in annual taxpayer subsidy, cited objections of “Palestinian friends of the museum.”

Could some of those friends have been authors of essays included in a book edited by museum Executive Director Laura Raicovich extolling the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign targeting Israel? One wonders.

Thankfully, Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon blew the whistle Wednesday — at which point the museum, under pressure, buckled.

Cold comfort. City Cultural Affairs Commissioner Tom Finkelpearl ran the Queens Museum before his appointment by Mayor de Blasio. As ex officio board members, they, along with City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Queens Borough President Melinda Katz, must discipline any and all members of the board who willfully expelled a participant from public property on the basis of national origin, if not religion.

And find a new executive director to boot.
