Abstract
The issue of Tantura is a crucial topic in the contemporary history of the Holy Land. One explanation for the great echo that this debate has caused is the fact that it has been the only case in the history of the Jewish State in which an event directly connected to the Palestinian Nakbah has been discussed in an Israeli court. Through a wide range of sources the article try to answer to two principal question: what did happen in Tantura and why did a not particularly uncommon tragic historical fact become such a relevant matter of discussion in the Israeli (but also in the international) public debate?I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
