Article by Patrick Strickland explains how Israel’s “Nakba Law,” passed in 2011, empowers the finance minister to withdraw funding from Israeli institutions that mark Israel’s Independence Day as a day of mourning for the Nakba. It argues that although the law has not yet been officially enforced in many cases, it has a chilling effect on free expression, narrowing the space for Palestinian citizens of Israel to commemorate the Nakba. This source is helpful for research on Palestinian citizens of Israel, the Nakba Law, Nakba commemoration, freedom of expression, Zochrot, and the Israeli right-wing.
