The Palestinian Nakba never ended. What began
with the Wall and Tower continues today with the
separation wall and the walls of Adromeda Hill,
what began with the destruction of houses to
prevent refugees from returning continues with
the madness of ethnic cleansing today, the
amnesia and denial of the destruction of
Palestinian society then is our blindness to its
destruction today.
Sedek [“Fissure”] is the opening of a public space
for literature, art, and critical writing that will
connect between the forgotten recesses of 1948
and present life in Israel, between the opening of
a fissure in the impermeable walls of
consciousness and the possibilities for another
kind of life in the Middle Eastern space.
Sedek is published in Hebrew with abstracts
in English and Arabic. It can be purchased at
independent bookstores and on the website of
Pardes Publishing House, www.pardes.co.il
