I Israel, hvor landets ledende zionister ikke forsømmer den mindste lejlighed til at gøre verden opmærksom på holocaust, er man helt anderledes ømskindede, når det handler om Nakba, den nationale katastrofe i 1948, da omkring 750.000 palæstinensere blev etnisk udrenset af Palæstina.
Israels lærere har fået besked på, skriver Jonathan Cook, at det ikke er velset, at man samarbejder med ngo'en Zochrot, der som mål har at øge israelernes opmærksomhed på hændelserne i 1948:
Government officials warned Israeli teachers last week not to cooperate with a civic group that seeks to educate Israelis about how the Palestinians view the loss of their homeland and the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948.
Israel’s education ministry issued the advisory after Zochrot – a Jewish group that seeks to raise awareness among Israeli Jews of the events of 1948, referred to as the “nakba” by Palestinians – organised a workshop for primary school teachers.
The ministry said the course had not been approved and told teachers not to participate in Zochrot-sponsored activities during the coming school year.
In a letter to the education ministry protesting against Zochrot’s activities, the Legal Forum for the Land of Israel, an advocacy group for Jewish settlers, had called the group’s educational materials “part of a criminal vision to wipe Israel off the face of the earth”.
