Well in a way Little Tich............it led to this :

http://tv.social.org.il/en/first-truth-commission-in-israel

A "Truth Commission", inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation commissions held in South Africa to end apartheid, was held in Beersheba Recently (12/10/2014). In the event, Palestinians and Jews presented testimony from 1948 to a committee that included representatives from the two nations. First Truth Commission in Israel The main idea of the truth commission is to uncover the truth about injustices, in this case - the Nakba in the belief that taking responsibility is a necessary . basis for reconciliation and peace. The event was organized by Zochrot.
