A formal legal demand letter had been sent to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) over its upcoming “Nakba” exhibit, “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present.” There are broad concerns that the exhibit promotes a one-sided, historically inaccurate Palestinian Arab narrative that delegitimizes Israel, erases Jewish history, and risks inciting antisemitism. Even incitement to violence with slogans by some of its proponents to eliminate the Zionist disease. It calls on the museum to pause the exhibit, ensure balance, and comply with its mandate as a publicly funded human rights institution. Don James is CEO of Bridges for Peace Canada, in Winnipeg – the epicenter of this threat – and explains what happened and what needs to happen.
