## Resource

Mark L. Berlin, professor at McGill University and former senior advisor on the Middle East to Canada’s attorney general, discusses his resignation as the only Jewish trustee on the Canadian Museum for Human Rights’ board. He explains his concerns about the museum’s Palestinian Nakba exhibit, arguing that it presents a contested political narrative as historical fact while omitting key historical context. Berlin also examines the complexities surrounding Israel's founding and explains why he believes these historical omissions risk fueling more antisemitism in Canada, rather than fostering informed dialogue about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
