Synopsis: Ma’aloul is a Palestinian village in Galilee. In 1948, it was destroyed by the Israeli armed forces and its inhabitants expelled either to Lebanon or to the neighbouring town of Nazareth. Ever since, the former inhabitants of Ma’aloul are only allowed to visit it once a year on the anniversary of Israel’s independence and have developed a tradition of organising a picnic on this day on the very site of the destroyed village.
