Genuinely considering a trip to Winnipeg to see the exhibit and support this museum. I hope other people do to and that it stays up for a long time. In fact, I'm going to donate to the museum right now.

From another article:

Charles Levkoe, a member of the Jewish Faculty Network, an advocacy group made up of Jewish academics and scholars, called the controversy surrounding the exhibition ironic, given that it hadn’t yet opened to the public ahead of the protest.

Levkoe said one of his fellow members was part of the consultations for the exhibition and provided regular updates to the group.

“As Jews, as members of the people that have experienced lots of discrimination and persecution over the centuries … I think as a group we collectively were very excited about it, because we know how important it is for people who’ve been marginalized to tell their stories and have their perspectives heard,” Levkoe said.

The story of the Nakba is not often told because of its controversy, but Levkoe did not expect the exhibition to be the subject of such backlash.

“It’s like this knee-jerk reaction to just try to shut this thing down without even saying, ‘Well, let’s give it a chance, let’s see it first,’” he said.
