Since 2020, Zochrot has offered local study and action groups for activists who want to learn about the Nakba where they live and work and to examine the connection between the ongoing Nakba and the Jewish-Israeli struggle for equality and social justice.

How are Jewish citizens in Israel complicit in- and benefitting from- the ongoing Palestinian Nakba? Does Israeli activism serve attempts at concealment and normalization? Can recognition of the Nakba’s injustices be integrated in support for other struggles (i.e., class, gender, environmental)?

This program includes 10-12 sessions. Based on the understanding that the decolonization process requires not only recognition, remembrance, and commemoration, but also political action, these workshops’ purpose is to establish informed and active local communities. Participants in our workshops acquire knowledge about the ongoing Nakba, specifically in their location, and about reflective, anti-colonial activism. After the program, activists are encouraged to independently organize direct action that promotes acknowledgement and accountability for the ongoing injustices of the Nakba and reconceptualize the right of return as the key for a just solution and a sustainable future.
