Coalition calls on minister to withdraw criticism of museum’s Palestinian exhibit
Amnesty International and other groups say Ottawa should back the museum’s curatorial independence amid criticism of its exhibit on Palestinian displacement.
- On Wednesday, a coalition of civil society groups issued a joint statement supporting The Canadian Museum for Human Rights, pushing back against criticism of its exhibit on Palestinian displacement.
- The Winnipeg-based museum has faced significant criticism over its exhibit on the Nakba, the forced displacement of about 750,000 Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
- Culture Minister Marc Miller claimed the museum failed by not naming Hamas as a terrorist organization, while Jewish groups argue the exhibit portrays only one side of a complex history.
- Organizations including Amnesty International, the United Church, and the Union of National Employees are calling on Ottawa to protect the museum's curatorial independence.
- These groups characterize the criticism as an organized pressure campaign, urging Ottawa to defend the museum against what they view as political interference in its operations.
