Lets Never Forget The Naba


Today, the 12th of May, Israelis ‘celebrate’ Jerusalem Day for the 43rd year.

Saturday, the 15th of May, Palestinians will ‘mourn’ the Nakba for the 62nd year.

Lest we forget……

Photos of the Nakba (“the catastrophe”): the expulsion and dispossession of hundreds of thousands Palestinians from their homes and land in 1948. In 1948 more than 60 percent of the total Palestinian population was expelled. More than 530 Palestinian villages were depopulated and completely destroyed. To date, Israel has prevented the return of approximately six million Palestinian refugees, who have either been expelled or displaced. Approximately 250,000 internally displaced Palestinian second-class citizens of Israel are prevented from returning to their homes and villages.
