A family foundation that paused funding for the Canadian Museum for Human Rights because of an exhibit on the displacement of Palestinians has given more than $4.8 million to charities that were later sanctioned for sending funds to the Israeli military or illegal Israeli settlements, an IJF analysis has found.

In June, the Winnipeg human rights museum opened an exhibit titled “Palestine Uprooted: Nakba Past and Present” exploring the displacement of 750,000 Palestinians following Israel’s declaration of independence in 1948.
