Take Action on ‘Nakba’ Exhibit
This weekend, the publicly funded Canadian Museum for Human Rights will open an extremely controversial "Nakba" exhibit that risks fanning the flames of Jew hatred.
That’s right: a museum founded by the vision and generosity of Jewish community leaders is now being weaponized against us to serve a dangerous, one-sided political agenda.
The museum's handling of this exhibit raises serious concerns. It has failed to meet its own standards for balance and transparency, conducted no meaningful consultation with our community, and has relied on political activists to develop this exhibit, including someone who has described the core of our Jewish identity as "a disease to be destroyed."
The situation has been so grossly mishandled that just yesterday the museum's only Jewish board member, Mark Berlin, felt compelled to resign.
Prime Minister Carney recently acknowledged that Canada is failing Jewish Canadians and warned against importing overseas conflicts into Canadian society. Yet your taxpayer dollars are now supporting an exhibit at a national museum that does exactly that — at a time when our community faces unprecedented threats, including acts of terror.
The Minister of Canadian Heritage must ensure accountability.
Join us in urging the government to hold the museum's CEO Isha Khan and its leadership accountable for this failure of governance, transparency, and public trust.
