The use of violence, demolitions, and psychological warfare to force and scare Palestinians into leaving their homes and villages go back to the roots of the conflict. In 1948, operations such as the Deir Yassin massacre, which occurred April 9, destroyed whole villages and forced others to flee. While Israel’s current home demolitions avoid much of the physical violence of those early operations, they still maintain the psychological elements, attempting to physically force them from their homelands and disincentivizing them from staying in their villages.

Guests are Daniel Seidemann and Faten Khoury.
Daniel Seidemann is an Israeli attorney specialising in Israeli-Palestinian relations in Jerusalem. He is the founder of Terrestrial Jerusalem, an NGO that works towards a resolution to the question of Jerusalem that is consistent with the two-state solution.
Faten is a Palestinian actress and drama trainer from Nazareth, living in Ramallah. Faten’s main focus of work in the last few years has been in the realm of bridging art and theater with live issues, such as Palestinian fragmentation and identity. Through this work and through understanding the extent of alienation of young Palestinians from their history and culture, Faten has discovered the need for documenting and presenting Palestinian oral history as a means of preserving it, through art.
