Calls for Palestinian-Focused Permanent Exhibit at Human Rights Museum Sparks Controversy, Anti-Israel Fears
Pro-Palestinian activists are making a renewed push for the Canadian Museum for Human Rights to install an exhibit highlighting the plight of Arab-Palestinian refugees, while mainstream Jewish organizations see the attempt as public political point-scoring and propaganda.

The federally funded CMHR in Winnipeg includes exhibits on various modern genocides, including the Holocaust, Ukrainian Holodomor, Armenian genocide, Rwandan genocide, and Srebrenica genocide in Bosnia.
