Many Holocaust museums include the story of Israel’s founding in 1948, depicting the country as a refuge for Jewish survivors. But they often do not mention, or address only in guarded terms, a subject that increasingly interests some visitors: the Nakba, Palestinians’ term for their displacement amid Israel’s founding.
The thing about founding a country somewhere with an existing population is that there is no possible peaceful transfer. It will always be complicated because displacing people is inherently violent, and the founding and continued colonization by Israel is no exception.
I wouldn’t expect them to include the founding of Israel in the museum. The only mention of Native Americans on their site is referencing their support in WWII.

“If they do it that way, you would have kids who would understand the story of Israel,” she said. “They would understand its miraculous nature.”
And right there we have the issue, tied in a bow at the end of the article.
No country is miraculous or blessed. When we figure that out, our world will become a much more peaceful place.
Exactly.
Canada wouldn’t have happened the way it did if First Nations hadn’t been pushed out of the way.
That they even have to say that they’re having to have these discussions speaks volumes on its own.
And then in 2023 we decided to give the holocaust a chance and we love it! We forgivee you Germany!
I guess that’s what humanity is aiming for … a holocaust we can all accept.
Neveragain… and again … and again … and again
The only thing we learn from history, is that we don’t learn anything from history.
Well we do learn how to do evil shit better
Take a position? No, that might hurt someone’s feelings.
why would they say anything at all? it’s not their business.
