Remembering the Nakba: Israeli group puts 1948 Palestine back on the map Zochrot aims to educate Israeli Jews – through tours and a new phone app – about a history obscured by enmity and denial


... Next week, Zochrot, whose activists include Jews and Palestinians, will connect the bitterly contested past with the hi-tech present. Its I-Nakba phone app will allow users to locate any Arab village that was abandoned during the 1948 war on an interactive map, learn about its history (including, in many cases, the Jewish presence that replaced it), and add photos, comments and data.

It is all part of a highly political and inevitably controversial effort to undo the decades-long erasure of landscape and memory – and, so the hope goes, to build a better future for the two peoples who share a divided land.

"There is an app for everything these days, and this one will show all the places that have been wiped off the map," explains Raneen Jeries, Zochrot's media director. "It means that Palestinians in Ein Hilweh refugee camp in Lebanon, say, can follow what happened to the village in Galilee that their family came from – and they will get a notification every time there's an update. Its amazing." ...

I remember well the Nakba. In '48-'49 there were articles in the Weekly Reader in schools and the movies always had newsreels. This was before TV was affordable. What I remember most are the interviews with Israelis and Arabs and both always said the Arab armies made the people move. Now, these newsreels are archived and they are easy to find, so get your Googler out and find some that say different. Right about now you aren't earning the minimum wage that Hamas is paying you.

Movietone News made most of the newsreels.

Indeed, propagandized from day one. There are two things wrong with that.

1) About 300,000 Palestinian refugees before any Arab army entered Palestine.

2) Historical studies show that only a few percent were instructed to leave.

So that is a lie.

And will you call for the jews forced to leave from the muslim world?
Will you call for the jewish victims of arab riots and pogroms going back through the centuries in the holy land?
The jewish and arab victims of terrorism and violence by palestinians?
The palestinian victims of violence and brutality by Egypt and Syria? Remember how they were treated by Iraq and Kuwait?
Remember the victims in the syrian refugee camps suffering torture and starvation? Remember what syrias and amal did to the camps in Beirut? Remember the victims massacred by palestinians in Lebanon? Remember the refugees in Jordan, how many lives were lost because of the coup against King Hussein?
Remember the promises made by the arab states to get the palestinians to leave, and the way the palestinians were treated by those nations after they all lost, again, and again, and again........
Remember the fact that the palestinians did not have to leave. Remember the tens of thousands that returned after the war. Remember the reunification programs open by Israel to bring around a thousand a year and help them settle and become citizens.
Remember how much better off palestinians in the west bank are compared to those living in arab states.
Remember that a palestinians state was refused after the UN offered. Remember that Israel was attacked by so many armies before the ink was dry on the signing of their independence or the last mandate soldier had left. Remember that the arab states did not try to create a palestine while they occupied the land. Remember they did little to improve the land they occupied or much to help the palestinians.
Remember that palestinians were not the only victims.

Those 300 000 Palestinians became refugess during ANOTHER war, called the Mandatory Palestine civil war.
And although there weren't full Arab armies, there were many troops from surrounding Arab states that participated in this war.

But being the expert Palestinian propagandist that you are, you try to make it seem like nothing at all was going on when they became refugees and you omit the fact that there was a war during this time.

The Palestinians were defending their country from the foreign Zionist/British colonial project that was encroaching on their country.

You can call that a civil war if you like.

And it's not me that called it a civil war.
That's exactly what it was called. But as usual, you claim to be right, while historians, links are wrong.

And again, there was no country to defend. Palestine only became a state in 1988.

And "everybody knew" that Fayyad was the prime minister of Palestine. Popularity of an opinion does not make it true.

You're making no sense. You try to change historical facts to further your agenda.
You try to debate things that are not debatable. You're being very immature again.

With regard to this, I found this article very interesting. It looks like the British officials in the area were telling the truth when they reported back that hordes of Arabs were flowing into the countries from their poor surrounding lands to take jobs that the Jews had for them, much like we see many crossing our southern border for jobs, and the reason we see Muslims flooding into Europe from their poor countries. Let us remember the Egyptian official who told the Gazans to come back to Egypt. That is probably where most of their families and ancestors originated.
