A Palestinian legal centre in the UK has defended an art gallery in Manchester for displaying an exhibition highlighting the environmental effects of Israeli military action in the occupied Palestinian territories after it was accused of antisemitism. The exhibition at the Whitworth Art Gallery, devised by the Turner Prize-nominated research group Forensic Architecture, examines how power structures shape the air we breathe, and among its examples, it shows how Israeli military action in the occupied Palestinian territories has toxic environmental effects due to chemical warfare such as tear gas and bomb clouds.
