The article discusses the initiative of the political leadership of the Arab Palestinian citizens of Israel to commemorate Al-Nakba in 1998. The story of the establishment, non-establishment, and destruction of these memorial monuments epitomizes dilemmas and contradictions in the production of collective memory by the Palestinian minority. The article discusses national, local, and communal identities, the Al-Nakba memorial monuments in Alilbun, Shefa-amr, and Kafr Kana, and the situation following October 2000.
