(Note: Please do not copy and paste the material below as the content to your message to the media - put all comments in your own words):
On May 13, CBC News published an article titled “Winnipeg rally gathers to mark 75th anniversary of Palestinian displacement.” The article covered a rally organized by Palestinian Winnipeggers near the Manitoba legislature to commemorate 75 years of the Nakba, and the dispossession and violence that the Palestinian people have endured. The article also interviewed members of the local Palestinian community, including Rana Abdulla, the founder of the Canadian Palestinian Association of Manitoba. Palestinian perspectives are often silenced or deliberately excluded from Canadian public discourse, especially when they challenge established power structures. Highlighting this event is a positive start to educating the Canadian public on the issue of the Nakba, which remains largely unacknowledged by the Canadian government and public institutions. Please write to CBC News Manitoba's managing editor Melanie Verhaeghe for covering an article about the 75th anniversary of the Nakba.
