NAKBA: A RECIPE FOR EVERLASTING WAR?
. .
Lyn Julius
What is the Nakba and how did it come to define the Palestinian cause? Does it guarantee endless war? Why is the greater Jewish Nakba consistently ignored ? How can we use both Nakbas to advance the cause of peace?
The daughter of Jewish refugees from Iraq, Lyn Julius is a journalist and speaker. She blogs at Point of No Return and is founder of Harif, the UK Association of Jews from the Middle East and North Africa. Her work has appeared in the Guardian, Jewish News, Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel, JNS News and elsewhere. Her book Uprooted: How 3,000 years of Jewish civilisation in the Arab
world vanished overnight (Vallentine Mitchell) was published in 2018. Portuguese, Arabic and Norwegian editions have been produced and it is now being translated into Hebrew.
