Emily Hilton is a Jewish activist and writer living between Israel-Palestine and the UK. She co-founded Na'amod: British Jews Against the Occupation, the Jews Against Boris Campaign (now Jewish Solidarity Action) and sits on the steering committee for the Centre for Jewish Non-Violence. She have written extensively on Israel/Palestine, antisemitism and progressive politics for The Independent, +972 Magazine, the Huffington Post , Huck Magazine and Jewish Currents.
A new documentary about the Tantura massacre of 1948 reveals much about memory politics in Israel and the ever-present Nakba. But for Israelis and Jews in solidarity with Palestine, the film also forces a reckoning, writes Emily Hilton.
