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.
#Nakba75 #Nakba #NakbaDay
What do we mean when we say “Nakba”?
Today and every day, reject the lie that Palestinians left willingly.
How many refugees are there?
Palestinian refugees are denied their right of return for the crime of not being Jewish and therefore “demographic threats”, a concept Nur Masalha expanded on in “Imperial Israel and the Palestinians: The Politics of Expansion”.
We will never give up our right of return.
Palestinian refugees returning is core to our liberation.
Palestinians and those in solidarity with us know what a lie and sham the idea of Israeli “independence” is, and how the Zionist and the British collaborated in dispossessing us.
The myriad of ways Israel oppresses Palestinians, seeking to control as much of our land with as few of us left on it, is the continuation of the Nakba.
We have always and will always resist this until we are free.
