2022 marked the 20th anniversary of Zochrot. It’s been twenty years of in-depth educational, cultural and political work that has cracked the taboo of denial in Israeli society regarding the Nakba and is starting to break through the even more overwhelming taboo in our society that hesitates at the mere mention of Palestinian right to return and shuts down discussion of a real, just future for all people between the river and the sea.
For the past two decades, Zochrot has been and continues to be a political and ideological home for thousands of our friends and supporters in a reality where solidarity is crucial.
Throughout this year, we have witnessed the emergence of a daring community, unafraid to tell the truth, take responsibility and decolonize the space we live in. Thanks to our members and collaborations with sister organizations, we saw an increase in action and reached more people to change hearts and minds. We are immensely proud of this political community pushing for radical change that is directly supported by its own members, In the past year, we carried out more than 70 different political actions and public events, reaching out to thousands of people through our Tours to destroyed Palestinian localities, Workshops and training for activists and organizers, Courses and lectures, Public campaigns, New curriculum and materials for educators, Film screenings, publications, testimonies and so much more - all actions aimed to expose the ongoing Nakba and emphasize our responsibility to bring the imperative of return into the heart of Israeli public discourse.
Zochrot makes and will continue to make information about the Palestinian Nakba and the right of return accessible for the Jewish public in Israel and produces new knowledge, study materials and pedagogical tools. We continue to provide creative and accessible tools such as the new iReturn app to expose the truth of the ongoing Nakba and push forward the conversation around return to a wider audience. Zochrot is grateful for the solidarity, partnership, and support of our funders: Misereor, HEKS-EPER, IHL Trust, Kurve Wustruw, EMHRF and the Rockefeller Brothers foundation. We thank the supporters of various projects: St. Het Solidariteits fonds, AFSC, MCC, Kaleidoscope fund, Haella Foundation, Sivmo, Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, Medico International, CCFD, as well as private individuals from all over the world.
