Israel Asper created a multinational media empire, CanWest Global. He was also a prominent figure in the pro-Israel lobby in Canada.

Less well-known were Asper's efforts to create a museum to perpetuate his political outlook. This project was uncompleted at his death in 2003 but efforts to open a museum have continued.

James Kafieh is executive secretary of the coalition, Canadians for Genocide Education. They are opposed to the idea of a holocaust museum focusing only on the genocide of European Jews.
