Civil Alliances – Palestine, 1947-1948
Between November 1947 (The UN Partition Plan for Palestine) and May 1948 (the creation of the State of Israel), many Jewish and Arab communities who cared for their country intensified the negotiations between themselves and initiated urgent encounters, some short and spontaneous, others planned meticulously to the last detail, during which the participants raised demands, sought compromises, set rules, formulated agreements, made promises, sought forgiveness, and made efforts to compensate and reconcile. In 2012, Ariella Azoulay directed a film based on archival documents depicting these events. Her essay reflects upon the importance of this chapter for a potential history of Palestine.
