But what is the position of the Archaeological Institute of America and Saving Antiquities for Everyone on the matter? Both groups have been adamant in the past that Iraqi cultural artifacts should be repatriated.
Hopefully, common sense and common decency have caused them to rethink their usual position as to these artifacts which were stolen from Iraq's once vibrant Jewish community.

It seems nothing has been learned from events of seventy-plus years ago.
You've only to read the garbage of one of your regular schmucks to know how arkiedom is generally partisan and anti-Semitic.
Common sense and decency has nothing to do with it...we/you/I are dealing with utter scumbags! The dregs of humanity. Don't dress them up as academics or whatever else...
