Keywords:
History, Palestine, Israel, Nationalism, Reconciliation, Bridge-narrativeAbstract
Every nationalist movement needs the creation of a collective identity shared by the interested human group. History is one of the main tools in this process. In Palestine/Israel the historical narrative become another battlefield where the communities involved in the conflict fought in order to exclude one another from their own history. We will analyses the official historical narratives from both sides highlighting their limits, and secondly the “bridge-narrative”, an intellectual tool coined by two historians coming from the two embatt- led communities in order to go beyond the exclusive approach that dominated the debate so far.
