We Will Not Be Erased: Ongoing Nakba
Join Mohammed El-Kurd, Majd Kayyal, Sandra Tamari, and Sumaya Awad as they unpack and the history and ongoing reality of the Nakba.
----------------------------------------------------
Israel’s founding in 1948 was a result of premeditated ethnic cleansing campaigns across historic Palestine with the goal of displacing and dispossessing the indigenous Palestinian population of their land. The violence of the 1948 Nakba didn’t stop. In fact, successive Israeli governments, with the financial and political backing of the US, have given Israel the green light to expand and entrench its colonial project.
Colonialism is alive and well in the 21st century. The Nakba is not a thing of the past, but an ongoing reality. Join us for a discussion and a call to action as we unpack the history of 1948, the stories of survival, and the many ways the Nakba is ongoing today.

@@josiahbennett7573 WE STAND WITH PALESTINE. STAND ASIDE K??? just step aside. Palestine existed long before your forbears came along and destroyed and enslaved it. Fuck your myths. We don't even know if god is real, stop pretending like you're in the favored group. Everyone has a right to EXIST and it's wrong of you to believe otherwise. Palestine will be restored one day, hopefully soon. What that means for your govt of Zionazis is anyone's guess, but one day these good people will be freed from their 80 year and counting subjugation by these new nazis. Either recognize the humanity and human rights of your Arab neighbors, or step aside; because the US won't be protecting Israel forever and being complicit in their war crimes, and sooner or later the rest of the able world will step in liberate Palestine. I can't say for certain when this will be but it will certainly be. You can join us and do what's right, or step aside, bec we will fight anyone in our way and if death comes, it comes. I mean death is an unfortunate part of war, so we accept that risk beforehand; but what has been done to Palestine since 1948 cannot be allowed to stand.
The Jewish people where there in 1948 the British mandate
