THE UNTOLD STORY OF ALMOST
A MILLION REFUGEES
Dr. Mordechai Kedar

Dr. Kedar will explain why the story of the Jewish refugees from Arab
lands was so unknown for many years. Why has this changed recently?
He will cover topics like the mindset of the Israeli society and leadership
during the 50s and 60s, Israeli priorities, self-presentation, stereotypes,
and relations between communities.

served for 25 years in IDF Military Intelligence
specializing in Arab political discourse,
Arab mass media, Islamic groups and the
Syrian domestic arena. A lecturer in Arabic
Literature at Bar-Ilan U., he is also an
expert on Israeli Arabs.
