This Land is Our Land
Israel banished Palestinian residents from Haifa’s Wadi Salib neighborhood in 1948 and evicted its later North African Jewish residents after the 1959 riots. Today, most of its historic structures have been destroyed or are sealed and slated for demolition. In foreground, an old children’s magazine called ‘Our Land.’ Tour organized by Zochrot.
