The story of Palestine

The story of #Palestine didn't start on the 7th of October, it started 75 years ago, and still continues to this day. "The Story of Palestine" is a short documentary that tells the story of a land that was stolen and a people who were killed and displaced, then they struggled and resisted. Dedicated to the resilient people of #Gaza and to all the people of Palestine. To all humans. 220 days of genocide and destruction, and Gaza remains resisting alone. via: Hosam Salem IG/hosalem

🇵🇸🇺🇳 - Ambassador Dr. Riyad Mansour: “We share with many nations the suffering they endured, the struggles they led, the dreams they had. You have been witnesses to the story of Palestine, and you can only look at it from the prism of your own people’s journeys towards liberation”

Every year on May 15, Nakba Day is observed by Palestinians and human rights advocates worldwide. Here are the events that led to Nakba — Arabic for “catastrophe”.

Writer. @JehadAbusalim Jehad Abusalim; “Israel is committing a massacre to prevent setting a precedent in which Palestinians can achieve anything using through popular and mass mobilization.”

May 15 marks the day when Palestinians were violently expelled from their historic homeland in 1948 This year, it comes as millions in Gaza live through what many say is the second Nakba – and photographic evidence shows how history is repeating today via @anadoluagency

- Motaz Azaiza: @azaizamotaz9 “And this was the hardest part to witness To live the Nakba in front of your eyes, after you just was hearing about it from your grandparents”

Seventy-six years ago, Palestinian Mustafa Abu Awwad lived the experience of horrors and tragedies that resulted from his family's expulsion from their original home place at the hands of the Zionist gangs, in what became known as the Nakba of 1948. Mustafa Abu Awwad, 88, is currently living in the Nour Shams refugee camp near Tulkarem city, northern the occupied West Bank after he and his family were forced to flee their village in the course of the 1948 Nakba events.

- @WearThePeaceCo May 15, 1948 was the day that over 750,000 Palestinians were forced and driven out of their homes in Palestine by the zionist occupation. Over 530 towns were and cities were completely depopulated and 15,000 humans were killed. The oppression you're seeing today in Gaza and the West Bank is 76 years worth of brutality. The Nakba never ended. Free Palestine

What is Nakba? Nakba (Arabic for 'catastrophe) refers to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 by Zionist militias to make way for the creation of Israel. @MiddleEastEye

Every year on May 15, Palestinians mark the Nakba- the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 by Zionist militias. @ajlabs

For Palestinians, May 15 marks the anniversary of the “Nakba” — Arabic for “catastrophe” — when hundreds of thousands were forced from their homes. Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7 has been called the “second Nakba” by many Palestinians who have been forced to flee their homes. @wizardbisan spoke with three survivors from the first Nakba who shared firsthand testimonies of their struggles in 1948 and today. They spoke about their lives before the establishment of Israel and how they’ve now been displaced twice in their lifetimes. After the first Nakba in 1948, around 15,000 Palestinians were killed. And since October 7, Israel has killed over 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza, and 1.7 million people have been displaced — more than double the number of Palestinians displaced in 1948. @ajplus @AJEnglish #Nakba #NakbaDay #Gaza #Palestine #Israel
