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.
