Aviv said the exhibit is trying to develop a new discourse, one that doesn’t yet exist, a new language, to involve others in, that’s confusing at first.  I’d like to open the discussion with reference to this new language:  What does it mean to invent one’s own language?  How much clearer is it?

Regarding tomorrow's ceremony, we should note that even a serious study of the Nakba and the civil disaster accompanied the destruction of the obvious existence-together of Arabs and Jews until the founding of the State of Israel, even the little that is addressed regarding the disaster of such magnitude - is outside the fence

On May 15, 2012, Zochrot commemorated the 64th anniversary of the Nakba in the center of Tel Aviv. About 100 men and women participated in a ceremony led by Liat Rosenberg.  The commemoration was identical to the one planned for the eve of Israel’s Independence Day, which the police forcibly prevented

We, Jews and Arabs, have gathered here today to commemorate the Palestinian catastrophe, the nakba.
Those who were killed, those who were expelled from their villages, those who fled for their lives, who were not allowed to return home, who became refugees in their own land and in foreign refugee camps.

Throughout my entire life, the regime has tried to get me to join its side.  But if its side includes looting, hindering and repression, I’m not joining!

In that fleeting moment when my eyes moved over the posters/faces/people, from one, to the next, thinking I may see my grandfather, or a perhaps his father or mother, a particular face looks into my heart, into my soul, and I can’t turn away

No idea in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has had as much potential and been so neglected and rejected as that of return of the Palestinian refugees.  Israel’s denial of the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes, beginning at the end of the 1948 war and continuing today, focused public discussion about the refugees’ return on an argument about that right and left no place for new visions and political practices to develop as part of public debate.

As in a regular ritual, The Legal Forum for Eretz Israel has asked the Minister of Education to prevent this activity organized by Zochrot. The newspaper "Makor Rishon" published an item on this last Friday, under the "intelligent" headline: Nakba Studies and Hotel Accommodation for 100 Shekels

Pointing at the basic choice of Israel to be a state for only one sector, defined by its religion, as the basic cause of this country's many malaises, including the housing situation.

The increasing diffusion of the term "nakba" (‫ (נכבה‬in Hebrew, untranslated but transliterated, nun, chaf, bet, hey, suggest that the politics of solidarity with the Palestinian cause has resources that exceed separatism, or the entitlement of a mere standing apart.

Your return will be a part of the political whole and your induction as full citizens in the state is the base of our future—we have no future but a joint future 

The Nakba as an event that did not occur in the past continues to not occur also today.

In February 2007 Zochrot tried to oppose a development plan in the village of Hittin. The following is the text of the objection.

"Language is not only a means of communication or thought. Language determines the meaning of thought... Thus language is central to human existence, to human development and human dignity."

The principles of transitional justice would suggest, we argue, the separation of the right of return, that is non-negotiable for the Palestinians, from the means of realization of that right in practice, which could be negotiated between the two sides.

Results of PSR refugees' polls in the West Bank/Gaza Strip, Jordan and Lebanon on refugees' preferences and behavior in a Palestinian-Israeli permanent refugee agreement 

Every year, as Israel celebrates its Independence Day the residents of al Birwa and their families return to the village, where the only things that remain are some trees and cemeteries. On that day, they sit by the graves and under the trees and tell the story of their village so it will be remembered.

This article is concerned with contemporary implications generated by the historiographical debate on the Palestinian refugee problem.

The teacher told his students that for the rest of his life he will bear the scar of the immoral behavior in which he took part. These wounded soldiers demand our compassion, which may allow both them and us to make peace with our past.
