‘Nakba’ remembered
By
Joyce Chediac
Published May 18, 2011 3:49 PM
Palestinians and supporters from the metropolitan New York City area
gathered on May 15 to mark Al Nakba, the date in 1948 when they were expelled
from their country, and Israel was created on occupied Palestine. After a rally
at the United Nations to assert their rights under international law, the
protesters marched to busy Times Square. This was part of internationally
coordinated actions asserting the right of the Palestinian people to return to
their original towns and villages in Palestine.
