With the Holocaust resonating as the "thick background," historical
redress processes in Israel render a particularly challenging case.
The simultaneous concern the Jewish community has with past,
present and future redress campaigns, as both victim and
perpetrator, is unique. 'Who is Afraid of Historical Redress?
analyzes three cases of historical redress in Israel: the Yemeni
children affair, the tinea capitis irradiations and the claims for
the return of native land of the two Christian Palestinian villages
of Iqrit and Bir'im. All three cases were redressed under the
juridical edifice of legal thought and action. The outcomes suggest
that these processes were insufficient for achieving closure by the
victims, atonement by those responsible and reconciliation among
social groups.
