Miller says Palestinian exhibit at rights museum ‘should be rectified’
Miller says the two-panel exhibit should be corrected after Jewish groups and Israel said it lacked context and could fuel anti-Jewish hate.
- On Monday, Heritage Minister Marc Miller says the Canadian Museum made an "error in curation" regarding its new exhibit on displaced Palestinians and stated it "should be rectified."
- The exhibit, which opened Saturday in Winnipeg, focuses on the Nakba—the forcible displacement of about 750,000 Palestinians—and has become a flashpoint between Canadian groups supporting Israelis and those supporting Palestinians.
- Calling the display "regrettable," Miller visited the museum Thursday and criticized the board's lack of oversight, noting it fails to identify Hamas as a terrorist organization or mention its intent to kill Jews.
- Mark Berlin, the museum's only Jewish trustee, resigned last week after stating he was not given advance notice of the exhibit, while Jewish groups and The Israeli government campaigned to have it reworked or cancelled.
- While Arab and Muslim groups hail the exhibit as examining hard truths, the CEO previously noted that exhibits often focus on specific community stories rather than comprehensive accounts of multi-faceted events.
