SUMMARY:Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day Ceremony\nThe 15th annual Joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Ceremony is co-organized by Combatants for Peace and Parents Circle – Families Forum and held on Yom Hazikaron (Israeli Memorial Day). The Ceremony challenges the traditional narrative of victimhood and separation\, and brings people together to declare that\, “War is Not an Act of Fate – but a Human Choice!” \nYom Hazikaron\, Israeli Memorial Day\, is a sacred day in Israel. Nearly every Israeli family has lost someone in the conflict\, and together they come to remember these dear ones. However\, traditionally\, Israelis ignore the grief of Palestinian families. Indeed the official Israeli ceremonies are marked by a narrative of hopelessness\, accepting that “we must live or die by our swords.” This leads to deep pain\, fueling the despair prevalent in both societies today. \nWhen Palestinians and Israelis challenge the status quo and come together to acknowledge each other and remember – together\, we start to build a new reality based on mutual respect\, dignity\, equality\, freedom and peace.  In this way\, we are taking responsibility\, challenging our own sense of victimhood\, and better still\, turning a sense of helplessness into empowerment and hope. \nThe Joint Memorial stands as a unique symbol of humanity and persistence. \nWhat began as a small ceremony of 50 people in 2005\, is now the second largest Memorial Day Event held in Israel\, with 10\,000 people attending the live event in Tel Aviv last year. This year\, we will create our largest Ceremony yet. Due to the worldwide Corona quarantine\, the Ceremony will take place without a physically present audience\, but instead will be broadcast live.  It will include special guest speakers and musical performances by Israeli and Palestinian artists.  At the close of the Ceremony we will post links to bereaved families\, Israelis and Palestinians\, who will open their homes for viewers to visit\, discuss or simply share sentiments.
