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.

Between 1947 and 1949, Zionist military forces attacked major Palestinian cities and destroyed some 530 villages.

About 15,000 Palestinians were killed in a series of mass atrocities, including dozens of massacres.

According to international law, refugees have the right to return to their homes and property from which they have been displaced.

Many Palestinians still have hope of returning to Palestine.
