On
the 15th of May of every year, Palestinians and the whole world
remember how it all started. How the Israelis' ethnic cleansing of a
people and the destruction of a society - the Nakba - was met with
global indifference. Many factors made it so, but among them was a
Zionist propaganda machine that illustrated the crime committed in
Palestine in 1948 as a war of independence against aggressive Arabs and
Palestinians.
It is true that the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab people
resisted the establishment of a racist regime in Palestine. And they
still do. It is only normal. If anyone comprehends the extent of the
injustice that has been committed against the Palestinian people, they
would not even ask why they are so determined in their pursuit of
justice. And if anyone knows the history of the Palestinian struggle,
they would realize that this people will continue to resist in every
form until they see the justice they have so longed for restored.
On 15 May 2011, the world is invited to express its understanding,
solidarity and support to a people that has resisted... and continues to
do so, for Justice in Palestine.
"Palestinians marked Nakba or Catastrophe Day - the date Israel gained
statehood in 1948 - with widespread protests in Gaza, the West Bank and
East Jerusalem. Nakba protests were also held in Egypt, Jordan and
Lebanon. In the East Jerusalem neighborhood Silwan, a young boy died
after being shot at close range sparking heightened protests. A report
on the funeral, protests and expectations for Nakba 2011"
