Today’s must-read
A Canadian Museum for Human Rights board trustee resigned Monday over an upcoming exhibit about the forced displacement of Palestinians from what is now Israel.
International human rights lawyer Mark Berlin believes “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present” will present a one-sided, uncritical narrative about the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 and current conflict, which he said could create more hostility toward Jews.
“My quest to make this a balanced, neutral, full historical story just fell on deaf ears,” Berlin, who is Jewish, told the Free Press. Chris Kitching has the story.
