During 2018, a group of Israelis took part in a learning workshop about
the return of Palestinian refugees. This workshop is part of Zochrot’s
activity to promote the discourse on the realization of return and the
understanding of its spatial implications.
The workshop focused on the Zochrot area, and included tours among the
ruins of the Palestinian villages of Dayr Aban (H. Mahseya), Zakariyya
(Zekharia), Bayt Nattif (Netiv HaLamed-Heh), and Bayt Jibrin (Beit
Guvrin), where Palestinians used to live until uprooted by the newly
established State of Israel in 1948. Many of the Palestinians still live
in refugee camps in the Bethlehem area.
During the tours, the participants were interviewed, knowing that their
statements will be presented publicly. This included refugees who used
to live in the villages and their family members
