Bosnian national museum says proceeds from display of Sarajevo Haggadah will go to ‘helping Palestine’

JL;DR SUMMARY The National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina has announced its decision to donate proceeds from the display of the historic Sarajevo Haggadah to aid Palestine, citing opposition to Israeli actions in Gaza. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
