[Episode 55]

For the first time one of the main organizers of the Nakba anniversary on May 15 in Haifa, has been  the Coalition of Women for Peace, mostly made of Jewish activists. A group of women activists joined a chanting and singing demonstration with sad moments of commemoration of “the cataclysm” (Nakba), which forced more than 800,000 Palestinians to leave their homes on May 15 1948. Meanwhile, after the celebrations for the independence of the State of Israel held in the country in the last two weeks , a  new discriminating law has just been proposed by the members of the Israeli parliament: the prohibition of the celebration of the Nakba in Israel. Those who want to express their solidarity to the Palestinian diaspora and the ongoing Nakba would have to go to Gaza…We interviewed Dalit Baum, Israeli activist of the Coalition of Women for Peace.
