“Sometimes it’s inevitable for the past to be forgotten, especially if the present is no less horrific.” 

A very tense and upsetting story set in 2 different timelines; the first following an Israeli platoon commander during the Nakba and the second following a journalist who becomes obsessed with this little detail. It’s very heavy and does not shy away from the day to day violence faced.
