- In an effort to absolve Zionist militias of charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes, a number of stories spread within Israeli society, they have been disproven but the denial of the horrors of the Nakba remains. Something Professor Pappe hopes to tackle through his new project the Nakba Memorial Foundation.
In 1948, just under one million Palestinians were expelled from their homes by Zionist militia groups that would go on to form Israel. 48 was the culmination of half a century of settler colonialism, a cornerstone of the project to establish a Jewish state in historic Palestine, was the idea that there were no people in the Holy Land or the people who were there were immigrants from elsewhere? The denial of the existence of Palestinians was a key feature of pre-1948 Zionism. After 1948, the denialism extended to the Nakba itself, myths such as Palestinians left because a radio broadcast from neighbouring Arab states told them to temporarily leave their homes and thus absolving Zionist forces of charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes, became part of the Israeli imagination. While ideas like these have been disproven through work of diligent historians and testimonies from Palestinians, attempts to discuss or study the Nakba have at times been suppressed in the West. But resistance from activists, students and scholars challenged and continues to challenge attempts to shut this down. MEMO conversations sits down with Professor Ilan Pappe to discuss the history of Nakba denialism, how it functions today, his new project the Nakba Memorial Foundation nakbamf.org/about/ and his new book Lobbying for Zionism www.middleeastmonitor.com/202....

Amazing Ilan Pappe! He's a blessing not just for the Palestinians but for humanity! Thank you, Ilan!
Bless you both for sharing your knowledge, understanding and the truth to this ongoing disaster! Pastor Chuck Baldwin of Liberty Fellowship on Kila, Montana has taught about the evil of Zionism for many years. You might want to interview him to hear his message too.
Thank you Prof
Let's pray for the world to be freed from evil doers and pathetic leaders.
Peace on earth, justice, equity, respect for all human beings on this small planet. Amen
34:50 Palestine viallges as "military bases"

awesome conversation. thank you all For your efforts
Thank you❤
Consumate, scholarly host. A rarity…… Thank you both. Miss Jenny
He did a great job. I would've been so nervous interviewing Ilan Pappé. If only the mainstream media would air this..
Excellent interview, thank you both. I'd also just like to point out that RUclips's auto-generated "key concept" for this video is anti-Semitism, which is wild.
The guest speaker is a gift to humanity.
I take an issue with the hosts’ reference to Russian “culture of denialism”.
Russians study repressions in schools and colleges, scores of books are published about the great purges, a monument to the victims of Stalin’s repressions was
opened in Moscow, etc
etc etc
Comments as such not only do not represent reality, they serve as the tool of propaganda and Russophobia.
