The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is about to launch a controversial exhibit: “Palestine Uprooted: The Nakba Past and Present.”
Human rights matter—and so does history. Unfortunately, this exhibit has lacked proper consultation and omits the experiences of hundreds of thousands of Jews who were forcibly displaced from centuries-old communities in Israel and across the region.
National, publicly-funded museums have a mandate to contribute to “the collective memory and sense of identity of all Canadians”—not to serve as tools for one-sided political agendas.
Tell the Museum’s CEO: our history must not be erased.
