The Nakba in Israeli schools


Listen Later

What do Israeli kids know about the Nakba?

Ahead of Nakba Day, commemorating the displacement of 700-800 thousand Palestinian Arabs in 1947-1949, we'll delve into how the war is talked about in Israeli schools. Some of the questions we'll cover in this episode are:

  • What do Israeli schoolchildren know about the Nakba
  • What is the narrative about the War of 1948?
  • What do declassified documents say?
  • Are Israeli students told about the Nakba at all? How is Israel's War of Independence a Palestinian catastrophe? What do Israelis think about how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict started?

    Tune in to find out!

    And don't forget to read, learn and, most importantly, remember.
