Instead of suppressing the memory of the refugees, Israel needs to recognize that in 1948 the land was bisected by the sword, and that the Jewish state came into being partly because of the massive uprooting and dispossession of Palestinian communities. Israel should develop enough self-confidence in its solidity as a nation to integrate into its schools’ curriculum the tragedy of the Palestinian Naqbah.
以色列需要的不是压制难民的记忆，而是承认1948年被占领土曾经被武力撕裂，而巴勒斯坦族群的大规模被迫迁徙和剥夺恰恰是犹太国家成立的部分原因。以色列应当建立起足够的民族自信，将巴勒斯坦大灾难的悲剧写进学校的教材。此类性质冲突的解决需要恢复历史的记忆，并通过成立真相和调节委员会，公正地听取双方的历史叙述。
