prerequisite for the psychological rehabilitation of Palestinians and Israelis alike?
Survivors must be heard, their stories recognized and their rights restored. Because justice is a requirement for, rather than an alternative to, reconciliation, Israeli perpetrators must admit their wrongs and may request amnesty. Why not a Nuremburg Tribunal or a Truth and Reconciliation Commission? The latter certainly was key to South Africa’s successful transformation from an apartheid to a democratic state that today is a welcome and respected member of the international community.
