A new exhibit recounting personal experiences of Palestinian Canadians who fled or were forced from their homes in 1948 is coming to Winnipeg next year, but one Jewish organization is pulling out of its partnerships with the museum over concerns the programming might not reflect important context.

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) announced a series of upcoming exhibits this week, including “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present,” which will open to visitors in June 2026.

“Kudos to the museum for having the courage to tell the story and not because they’re favouring the Palestinians or the Israelis," said Ramsey Zeid, president of the Canadian Palestinian Association of Manitoba.

“This is a human rights story that really needs to be shared.”
