Reflections on Al-Nakba
To most Palestinians, 1948, the year of al-Nakba, is the formative year of their lives. This is true irrespective of age, background, or occupation, or whether the person is a refugee or not, or lives in Palestine or the diaspora. On this fiftieth anniversary of al-Nakba, JPS asked a number of Palestinians of different generations and walks of life to write short pieces on what this event has meant to them.

The Passions of Exile
The Future of a Past
I ought to admit it from the outset: I am not just a refugee from Palestine. For many years I was a refugee from the psychic terrors of my identity and condition. I had sought, through flight, the immunity of a halcyon zone outside the Arab world where I would no longer be placed close to the door for easy eviction; where merely being a Palestinian was not sufficient cause to have petty officials snarling at my heels; where a final sense of being…
