Everybody is preoccupied with the refugee problem, but only from a Jewish and Zionist perspective, not an Israeli one. In other words, nobody bothers to take an interest, heaven forbid, in the Palestinian and Bedouin collective memory, and in "those in the north," as N. refers to them, meaning the Palestinian Israelis who are not Bedouin. "They in the north suffered more than we did," she says in an attempt to rationalize her unfamiliarity with the issue. "Maybe this is why they know more about what the Nakba is."

Anyone who wants to erase the Nakba, water down the Palestinian collective memory and blur Land Day, will only push students deeper into a remembrance that includes all the errors, distortions and hatreds against whoever seeks to uproot that memory.
