This paper considers the ways that differently situated communities of Israeli Jews have contended with the history of the Palestinian dispossession of 1948-1949 war. The analysis focuses on the ways this history is to formerly Palestinian things and proposes a shift away from a focus on questions of dispossession to those of repossession in order to take seriously the ways that appropriated Palestinian things carry meaning within an Israeli political matrix; to consider the ways Israeli memories attach themselves, or fail to attach, to these things; and to ask what such processes might tell us about quotidian Israeli technologies of settler-nationalism.
