Canadian Museum for Human Rights co-founder Gail Asper criticizes upcoming Nakba exhibit over lack of context
By
Kate Taylor
Summary
Philanthropist Gail Asper, a key founder of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, has raised concerns about the museum's upcoming exhibition "Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present," which focuses on Palestinian displacement. Asper fears the exhibit lacks historical context regarding the establishment of Israel and could inflame antisemitism in Canada. She stated she would protest rather than attend the opening, though she plans to view the show. The exhibition explores the struggle for justice surrounding the Nakba, but critics argue it should include more context about Israel's founding.
