Ongoing Nakba

Sixty-eight years have passed since the Nakba of 1948, the year that marked the expulsion and exodus of the Palestinian people. The Nakba of yesterday is the ongoing reality of today. Palestinians are denied basic human rights as Israel continues to adopt the policies of forcible transfer and apartheid to pave the way for the construction of more Israeli settlements and settlers in occupied Palestine. The continuous vicious colonial attempts to erase the Palestinian identity, to ethnically cleanse the people of Palestine and to humiliate their dignity at the hands of Israel is not only one dark chapter is history, but a daily life under humiliation, oppression and occupation for each and every Palestinian. It’s time for this dark chapter to end and for a new promising one to begin. It’s time for justice in Palestine.
