Today, May 15, is the 73rd anniversary of the Nakba, the day that changed the Palestinian people’s history forever. The Nakbah (al-Nakbah; “catastrophe”) marks the forced expulsion, dispossession, and displacement of the majority of indigenous Christians and Muslims, over 750,000 people from Palestine during the 1948 war. In reality, the Nakba has since solidified into an Israeli campaign of terror, ethnic segregation, land confiscations, and destruction of villages for Jewish settlement leading to a vanishing Palestine with over 7 million Palestinians living as refugees today.
