1/ On #NakbaDay, we mark the ongoing Nakba practiced by Israel against Palestinians. Adalah, @BimkomPlanners, and the RCUV are launching an interactive map visualizing Israel’s policies of forced displacement of Bedouins in the Naqab. bit.ly/3MtiNSY
2/ Israel continues to expand Jewish settlements and pursue "development" projects that perpetuate the displacement of Palestinians throughout historical Palestine.
3/ In 1948, 90,000 Bedouins lived in the Naqab. After the Nakba, only 11,000 remained, displaced to a small fraction of their ancestral land.
Today, we join other Palestinians in marking 75 years since so many of our people were ethnically cleansed; their homes destroyed or stolen as they were turned into refugees.
They are still denied their right of return to this day.

What do we mean when we say “Nakba”?
Today and every day, reject the lie that Palestinians left willingly.

Today is #NakbaDay. 75 years ago a catastrophe was visited on the Palestinian people - the violent beginnings of Israel's occupation. It continues today.
@vonderleyen recently described these events as a "dream." That is unacceptable, and must be condemned. #VonDerLies #Nakba

A "tragedy" is a terrible event nobody is really responsible for. It is totally unacceptable for a German politician to use the @EU_Commission to minimise the historic crimes of the Nazi regime as a mere "tragedy," and in the same breath as she downplays the #Nakba. #vonderLies
It's beyond disgraceful for an @EU_Commission President to allow the propaganda lie "Israel made the desert bloom" to come out of her mouth, denying the prior existence of Palestinians in their homeland. We must oppose apologism for the occupation in #EU institutions. #vonderLies

There are two 'Nakbas'.
1. The real catatrophe that occured when the Arabs failed to wipe out the Jewish state.
2. The mythical narrative that they remember on Nakba Day 2/13

2. The mythical narrative that they remember on Nakba Day 2/13
They build their story on several pillars:
That the Palestinians welcomed the Jews
The Palestinians were innocent victims
The Jews planned to expel them
It was a one-sided slaughter
The demographic weakness of the Jews
The Arab armies had to save the Palestinians 3/13

Dear @kschnurbein, to add to the important evidence already communicated to you on this platform, the European Legal Support Center has documented a consistent amount of incidents showing abuse of the IHRA WDA to suppress Palestinian rights advocacy.🧵 1/13
1⃣In Vienna, the IHRA WDA was raised by a Jewish student union to file a complaint purporting unfounded allegations of antisemitism against decolonial scholar Walaa Alqaisiya.
Result: she was brutally smeared and disinvited without cause.

Palestinians are commemorating the #Nakba, a program of ethnic cleansing that saw 750,000 Palestinians forcibly displaced from their homes during Israel's creation.
Between 1947-49, Zionist forces killed 15,000 Palestinians and destroyed 500+ Palestinian villages and cities.

No Palestinians displaced by the #Nakba were allowed to return home.
Today, there are over 5 million Palestinian refugees.
1/3 live in camps, some in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, in what groups call "abysmal" conditions without regular access to water, food or electricity.

74 years after the #Nakba, Palestinians are still being forcibly displaced.
▪️ Since 2020, Israel demolished homes of over 2,500 Palestinians.
▪️ Israel has over 200 illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, cutting Palestinians off from vital services and their own land.

At the start of the Nakba, Zionist forces ethnically cleansed Palestinian towns and villages. Aerial imagery from before 1948 and from google maps today allows us to see the erasure. On this #NakbaDay I'm sharing some of these before and after images below...
The location of erased Palestinian towns and villages are easy to spot on a modern google map. Odd looking formations that don't match their surroundings maintain the perimeter of the villages like the chalk outline of a murder victim.
Here is a before and after shot of al-Maghar. You can see where the village was and see how it has been covered with trees.
#NakbaDay : Hommage aux historiens palestiniens !

So beautiful to see THOUSANDS of Jews standing proudly with Palestinians at #NakbaDay rallies this weekend.
Though the most visible and powerful Jews may prop up Israel’s settler-colonial, apartheid regime, remember that the Jews in the streets want Palestine to be free.

Palestinians said to go ALL OUT for Nakba Day — and an unprecedented number of Jews heeded their call.
Our members co-sponsored, spoke at, or attended rallies in at least 36 US cities, some of which had contingents of Jews that numbered in the hundreds.

This #NakbaDay, 100s of our members sent photos opposing the #OngoingNakba in Jerusalem.
Our Jewish solidarity shows that Israel's expulsions are not about religion but about land theft, ethnic cleansing, and ethnic supremacy — just as they were in 1948.

Most families in these neighborhoods are refugees from the beginning of the Nakba in 1948, when Zionist militas violently expelled 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. For them, their impending forced displacement in 2021 is especially painful.

Today is #NakbaDay, marking 73 years since Palestinians were forcibly removed from their homes during Israel's creation.
750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their towns and villages in 1948, most becoming refugees as 78% of Palestine was turned into Israel.

There are over 5 million Palestinian refugees registered with the UN. About one third live in refugee camps.
Groups say:
▪️ Housing conditions are often "abysmal"
▪️ Limited access to medicine, infrastructure
▪️ Most refugees live in poverty due to lack of work rights

73 years after the #Nakba, Israel continues to displace Palestinians.
In 2020, Israel displaced 1,000+ Palestinians with home demolitions in the occupied West Bank. It routinely denies building permits to Palestinians.
In 2021, demolitions have made 460+ Palestinians homeless.

1/ A year ago, @visualizingpal launched #PalestineToday, telling the story of 1,200 historical towns, villages and cities, and highlighting how the #Nakba and the foundation of #Israel in 1948 created the fractured #Palestinian geography that we see today today.visualizingpalestine.org
2/ Looking at the history of the region in this way helps us to put today's events in context. Eg. in "mixed cities" like #Jaffa, #Haifa or #Lydd, where many #Palestinians were forcibly displaced in 1948, and those that remained became an isolated minority today.visualizingpalestine.org/lydda/
3/ In the #GazaStrip, where nearly 70% of the population are refugees originating from towns and villages in what became #Israel, the population of towns and cities like #Gaza, #Rafah and #KhanYounis have increased massively today.visualizingpalestine.org/rafah/
SPECIAL ANALYSIS: Israel is afraid of Palestinian memory, since it is the only facet of its war against the Palestinian people that it cannot fully control.

72 years have passed since the Nakba, or “Catastrophe”, which marks the mass exodus of over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes, creating a refugee crisis which has remained unresolved
The Nakba was the result of the partition of Mandatory Palestine in 1948 after WW2 ended, as the United Nations and world powers realigned the borders of the Middle East
Jewish paramilitary groups – some of whose members would go on to become key Israeli leaders, including Yitzhak Rabin, Ariel Sharon and Moshe Dayan – produced a plan to control the borders of the new territory gained by the resolution
These photos are from a visit ten years ago to the ruins of al-Zeeb, a Palestinian village on the shores on the Mediterranean, north of Acre and very close to the border with Lebanon. For #NakbaDay, here’s a bit of al-Zeeb’s history 1/10
In the #Ottoman period al-Zeeb pops up in a few archival records. Tax documents from the 16th century show a typical northern Palestinian village growing various grains, its fields ploughed by water buffalo, and a variety of other produce like fruit and honey 2/10
In 1693 the #Ottoman scholar ‘Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi stopped in al-Zeeb on his way to Acre. After a dangerous journey, he received a warm welcome from the village notables. He wrote a poem, punning on the fact that ‘zeeb’ sounds like the word for ‘wolf’ (dh’ib) in Arabic: 3/10
"La Naqba de 1948, elle est toujours là, une blessure béante, une blessure toujours saignante, tout un peuple y est lié. Elle est Partout, elle est dans tout.
