Truth and Reconciliation in Israel/Palestine
truth in Israel OFIP

In this Ottawa Forum on Israel/Palestine (OFIP) webinar, Zochrot activists Rachel Beitarie and Umar Al-Ghubari discuss their struggle to get Israelis to recognize the Nakba and engage in a practical discussion about the Palestinian right to return. Zochrot (“remembering” in Hebrew) is a Jewish, Israeli non-governmental organization since 2002 that calls for acknowledgement, accountability, and responsibility for the ongoing injustices of the Nakba, the Palestinian catastrophe of 1948, and for the support of Palestinians’ rights and the reconceptualization of the Return as the imperative redress of the Nakba and a chance for a better life for all the country’s inhabitants.
