Pro-Israeli Canadians should keep complaining about the exhibit. More Canadians would get to look up the Nakba or visit the exhibit.

So much this.

I attended a religious highschool. In hindsight our textbooks were 100% written by zionists. They bald face lied and said that the 7 Arab nations invaded Israel for purely antisemitic reasons.

Catholic school?

Ours will def go regular pub school but I guess I'll still have to keep an eye on her books. 😅

No something more niche. Lets just say I once overheard a teacher brag about their ability to have 75% of people in a room 'prophesying' in one session.

If you don't know what charismatic christianity is, it's that crazy shit you see on tv. But less a cult of personality and more of a cult.

The context:

The Nakba, which means “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Before the Nakba, Palestine was a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society. However, the conflict between Arabs and Jews intensified in the 1930s with the increase of Jewish immigration, driven by persecution in Europe, and with the Zionist movement aiming to establish a Jewish state in Palestine.

In November 1947, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution partitioning Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab, with Jerusalem under a UN administration. The Arab world rejected the plan, arguing that it was unfair and violated the UN Charter. Jewish militias launched attacks against Palestinian villages, forcing thousands to flee. The situation escalated into a full-blown war in 1948, with the end of the British Mandate and the departure of British forces, the declaration of independence of the State of Israel and the entry of neighbouring Arab armies. The newly established Israeli forces launched a major offensive. The result of the war was the permanent displacement of more than half of the Palestinian population.

Trustee that’s complaining about an exhibit about displaced Palestinians is a professor at McGill - Canada’s favourite Zionist university.

the exhibit fails to explain that Arab states fought those who ultimately established the State of Israel in 1948 and then expelled Jews to Israel.

Relevance?

Yeah, if part of your region suddenly gets turned into an ethnostate, then its gonna be hard not to have ethnic tensions arise. Show me any place in the world where ethnic cleansing by one group didnt lead to animosity against that group. Israels founding directly caused the expulsion of jewish people from those arab states, it didnt just happen for no reason.
