Zochrot, an extreme pro-Palestinian organization, claims that the Haifa Municipality is refusing to rent them a hall. Following the decision, Zochrot contacted the Organization for Workers Rights in order to see what legal recourses are available.
Zochrot announced that next Thursday, it will hold a public hearing at the Haifa Cinematheque in order to demand permission to rent the public hall. According to a statement, it wants "to stop the political silencing by the Haifa Municipality and its head, Mayor Yona Yahav."
The organization is dedicated to making the Nakba (meaning "Disaster," and the way many Palestinians refer to the creation of the State of Israel) a popular theme among Jewish Israelis.
