The Globe and Mail published an article about a museum exhibit documenting Palestinian displacement—without quoting a single Palestinian. Instead, readers were given pages of criticism from opponents of the exhibit while the people whose stories are being told were rendered invisible.
The article also reduced the Nakba to displacement during "fighting over control" of the land, omitting the United Nations' description of the Nakba as the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians. Human rights reporting should not erase the voices of the people at the center of the story. Join us in calling on The Globe and Mail to uphold basic standards of fairness, source diversity, and historical accuracy by centering Palestinian voices and treating the Nakba as a human rights issue, not merely a political controversy.
