Summary

The Holocaust memorial site whose Warsaw Ghetto Square Yavne: A Jewish Case for Equality in Israel-Palestine imagines as the scene, at the beginning of Yom HaShoah, of Jewish and Palestinian co-presidents lowering a flag as an imam delivers the Islamic du’a’ for the dead (Yavne: A Jewish Case for Equality in Israel-Palestine, line 186).

Details

  • The scene is Beinart’s imagined future in an equal Israel-Palestine, paired with a May 15 gathering at Deir Yassin at a future Museum of the Nakba (line 186). The essay gives no history or description of Yad Vashem beyond that imagined scene.
