The Disillusioned Israeli

as just another reminder of the systemic oppresion that has been happening since the Nakba of 1948. This also explains why there were some Palestinian students that did not want to engage in the conversation. They have been raised up with the thinking that these talks of oppression and injustice can only happen within the home and not with Israeli people.

On the other hand, there were also a mix of responses from the Israeli students. For some of them, they expressed their frustration as they do not understand why the Palestinians hate and blame them so much. A student goes on to say that her grandfather came to Israel to escape from the concentration camps in Europe. He came here to fight without knowing what was going on.

However a crucial significance of the walking tour in Lifta was that it started to make the Israeli students question how they were not taught about the Nakba before. And for some of them who had previously witnessed but not understood the difference in treatment between Palestinians and Israelis, this tour made them think about how these differences and prejudice actually impact Palestinian lives.

Thus, this book revealed a key theme on the "Weaponization of Information" which the Israeli government have set out to do. They have been deliberately influencing the thoughts of younger generation which causes them to ignore and turn a blind eye on the oppression that happens not just beyond the wall but in Jerusalem as well. Hence, Lifta is a place that challenges the dominant narrative which have been told to Israelis as well as highlights the life of the Palestinian families that had once lived there.
