Replacing Memorial day with Sulhah for both to come together, in the way you state, is a wonderful idea. A unifying idea, and a way to move forward.
For whatever reason, I read it as replacing Nakbah, but Nakbah has nothing to do with it.
I like your idea a great deal...it has a healing quality.
Well, let's be clear about a couple things:
I do suggest replacing both Israel's Memorial day and Nakba day with the Sulhah ceremony.
But:
I'm not in a position to "replace Nakba",
or force anyone on an individual level what they want to do or commemorate.
So:
All I can do is suggest a ceremony
that fuses both into something bigger - a common future.
So even if you still see this as 'replacing' or 'eliminating',
there's still something which you liked about the idea - it's healing capacity and equality.
We have to separate issues to examine the idea on it's own - the things we disagree from those we agree, let's at least try to make it clear and constructive like that - disagreement on an aspect doesn't not equal to disagreement of the whole idea, else you actually think there's nothing good about it, which doesn't seem to be the case.
So let's examine those things - how did you envision Sulhah as a whole?
And more specifically how do both Nakba and Sluhah relate to each other?
