75 years ago, the Nakba took place in Palestine in which 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes.
But the Nakba didn’t end in 1948. It continues to affect more than 12 million Palestinians who remain stateless today as they fight to end Israeli occupation ⤵️
Zionist military forces expelled at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands and captured 78% of historic Palestine.
The remaining 22% was divided into what are now the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip.
