Introducing the tours guide Once Upon a Land (“Omrim Yeshna Eretz”)

I’m trying to understand Zochrot’s perspective, what questions it wants the reader to ask. I look at the photo of the cemetery in Beersheba (p. 486), and the one of the Bavli neighborhood (p. 150). They have a provocative aspect – ironically referring to “a land without people for a people without a land.” Regarding the right of return – if Palestinians want to return, where do they want to return to? To these abandoned places?
