Every year, Palestinians mark the anniversary with marches, exhibitions and public events in the Palestinian territories and around the world to assert their rights, foremost the right of return for millions of refugees.
This year’s events were held under the slogan “We will not leave. Our roots are deeper than your destruction,” with marches, rallies and public gatherings in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, refugee camps and diaspora communities.
In Ramallah, Palestinians held a central march and public rally with broad official and popular participation, raising Palestinian flags, black banners and symbolic keys of return.
Similar events were held in Palestinian refugee camps in Arab and foreign countries, where participants carried signs bearing the names of Palestinian villages and cities depopulated in 1948, reaffirming the right of return and rejecting displacement.
The vast majority of Palestinian refugees, both those outside the 1949 armistice lines and those internally displaced, were barred by the newly declared state of Israel from their right to return to their homes or the reclaiming of their property, and in doing so Israel violated international law. It is the defining event that formed and solidified the Palestinian liberation struggle.
The 1948 founding of Israel was founded with the Nakba, a series of atrocities that ethnically cleansed Palestinians from their homeland.Israel was established by means of brutal massacres (Deir Yassin, Kafr Qasim, Tantura, etc.), through ethnic cleansing, and an attempt to erase Palestinians both from their land and global collective memory.. Palestinians were forced out of their homes and lands and saw Palestinian villages wiped off the map in places like Yassin, Lydda and Tantura by the hands of Zionist para-military groups like Ergun, the Stern Gang and Haganah, that later formed the core of the Israeli Defense Force.
Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I and the establishment of the Palestine Mandate, the British colonial power began implementing its plan of creating a Jewish state on Palestinian land. At the same time, the Zionist movement was lobbying Western powers to support the mass migration of Jews to Palestine and recognize a Jewish claim to the land. In 1917, the Balfour Declaration declared British support for a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, and that's how the Day of Nakba officially began.
The notorious declaration was made in a letter written by Britain's then-Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour, to Baron Rothschild, a leader of the British Zionist movement. The letter was endorsed by Britain's then-Prime Minister David Lloyd George..The letter stated the British would "use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object". For Zionists, this was a clear victory.
The vast majority of Palestinian refugees, both those outside the 1949 armistice lines and those internally displaced, were barred by the newly declared state of Israel from their right to return to their homes or the reclaiming of their property, and in doing so Israel violated international law. It is the defining event that formed and solidified the Palestinian liberation struggle.
To understand the Nakba is to first confront its sheer scale and totality. Before the Nakba there was a large, deeply rooted, and essentially ancient Arab society in most of what, within a few months, became the Jewish state of Israel. In effect, one day it was there, as it had been for living memory, and the next day it was gone. An entire society, with the exception of relatively small groups in a few places, simply vanished.
After World War I, the League of Nations broke the Ottoman Empire up into territories assigned to different colonial powers. The lands that today constitute Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories were placed under British rule, but with two explicit and incompatible purposes: Britain was already committed to supporting the recently established Zionist movement that sought to create “a national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine.
Then in Britain came the notorious 1917 Balfour Declaration and the Palestine mandate, in which the overwhelming Palestinian majority was simply referred to as “existing non-Jewish communities,” with “civil and religious rights,” but not political ones.
With the Balfour Declaration, the government of the time was seeking Jewish support for its war efforts, and the Zionist push for a homeland for Jews, which was becoming an emerging political force. In 1917, Jews constituted 10% of the population, the rest were Arabs. Yet Britain recognised the national rights of a tiny minority and denied it to the majority This was a classic colonial document which totally disregarded the rights and aspirations of the indigenous population. In the words of Jewish writer Arthur Koestler: “One nation solemnly promised to a second nation the country of a third.”
It was a shock to the Arab world, which had not been consulted and had received promises of independence of its own in the post-war break up of the defeated Ottoman Empire. The Palestinians have always condemned the declaration, which they refer to as the "Balfour promise" saying Britain was giving away land it did not own.
The Balfour Declaration constituted a dangerous historical precedent and a blatant breach of all international laws and norms, and this act of the British Empire to “give” the land of another people for colonial settlement created the conditions for countless atrocities against the Palestinian people. Balfour, in a 1919 confidential memo, wrote:
“Zionism, be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age old traditions, in present needs, in future hopes, of far greater import than the desires and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land”
The discriminatory language used by Sir Arthur Balfour and seen in the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate reveal the prejudiced rational behind British foreign policy in Palestine. A month after the Balfour Declaration on 2 December 1917, the British army occupied Jerusalem. In 1923, the British Mandate for Palestine came into effect, and included the entire text of the Balfour Declaration. Through the Mandate, Britain would go on to rule Palestine for three decades.
As a result of all of this the Palestinian people were denied the right to independence and statehood, and were treated as refugees in their own land. The Nakba resulted in the destruction of much of Palestinian society and much of the Arab landscape was obliterated by the Zionist state. And in the post 1948 period the Palestinians became second class citizens, subject to a system of military occupation by a government that confiscated the bulk of their lands.
Even the word 'Nakba' was banned by the Israeli Minister of Education in 2009, and was removed from school textbooks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayah said at the time that the word was tantamount to spreading propoganda against Israel. But the word Nakba is the term that about a fifth of Israel's population, the Palestinians use to describe this day.
The influx of Zionists to Palestine, supported by the British, was however was met with fierce Palestinian resistance and is very important to note that the Palestinian leadership in Al-Quds at the time insisted on continuing negotiations with the British to resolve the simmering tensions, Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam, a Syrian leader living in Haifa since 1922, began calling for resistance against the British and the Zionists. In 1935, Al-Qassam was surrounded by British forces and killed along with some of his men. His resistance inspired many Palestinians.
By 1936, an Arab resistance erupted against British imperialism and Zionist settler colonialism and by 1939, the Palestinians found themselves fighting two enemies: British colonial forces and Zionist militia groups.
And although the British had backed mass Jewish immigration to Palestine, the colonial power began to limit the number of Jews arriving in the country in an attempt to quell Arab unrest.This new limit on immigration upset the Zionists and they launched a series of terrorist attacks on British authorities to drive them out, while at the same time the Zionists continued to further advance their dream of creating a Jewish state on Palestinian land.
After the war, Israel refused to allow them the right to return because it says it would have resulted in a Palestinian majority within its borders. Instead, they became a seemingly permanent refugee community that now numbers some 6 million, with most living in slum-like urban refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The Zionist strategy of expelling Palestinians from their land was a slow and deliberate process. According to Israeli historian Ilan Pappe, Zionist leaders and military commanders met regularly from March 1947 to March 1948, when they finalized plans to ethnically cleanse Palestine. As Zionist attacks on the British and Arabs escalated, the British decided to hand over their responsibility for Palestine to the newly founded United Nations.
In November 1947, the UN General Assembly proposed a plan to partition Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab one. Jews in Palestine only constituted one-third of the population - most of whom had arrived from Europe a few years earlier - and only retained control of less than 5.5 percent of historic Palestine. Yet under the UN proposal, they were allocated 55 percent of the land. The Palestinians and their Arab allies rejected the proposal. The Zionist message was simple: Leave the land or be killed. The Zionist movement accepted all this on the grounds that it legitimized the idea of a Jewish state on Arab land. But they did not agree to the proposed borders and campaigned to conquer even more of historic Palestine.
As the date (May 14, 1948) selected by the British for their Palestine Mandate to expire approached, Zionist forces hastened their efforts to seize Palestinian land. In April 1948, the Zionists captured Haifa, one of the biggest Palestinian cities, and subsequently set their eyes on Jaffa. On the same day, British forces formally withdrew, and David Ben-Gurion, then-head of the Zionist Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the state of Israel. Overnight, the Palestinians became stateless. The world’s two great powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, immediately recognized Israel.
As the Zionists continued their ethnic cleansing campaign against the Palestinians, war broke out between neighboring Arab countries and the new Zionist state. The UN appointed Swedish diplomat, Folke Bernadotte, as its mediator in Palestine. He recognized the plight of the Palestinians and attempted to address their suffering. His efforts to bring about a peaceful solution and halt to the ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign ended when he was assassinated by the Zionists in September 1948.
Nevertheless the UN continued to push for an armistice deal between Israel and those Arab countries. Bernadotte was replaced by his American deputy, Ralph Bunche. Negotiations led by Bunche between Israel and the Arab states resulted in the latter conceding even more Palestinian land to the newly founded Zionist state. In May 1949, Israel was admitted to the UN, and its grip over 78 percent of historic Palestine was consolidated. The remaining 22 percent became known as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
While the Nakba represented a catastrophic historic event in the collective consciousness of the Palestinian people, it was followed only 19 years later by another horrific war which resulted in the displacement of a quarter to one third of the Palestinian population and the beginning of a new era in which the whole of it got to live under a complex Israeli regime.
This additional event got to be known as “the Naksa”, which can be translated as a serious quick escalation of an earlier catastrophe. The Naksa happened in and after a war that took only six days between Israel on the one hand, and a number of Arab countries surrounding, resulting in a relatively easy victory of Israel and the occupation of territories that were under the sovereignty or administration of its neighbouring states.
Although the hostilities of the war itself were quick and not that widespread, the displaced persons from the occupied Palestinian Territory were hundreds of thousands. In other words, the number of Palestinians displaced in that war was out of proportion. This can be understood only by explaining the ideological background that has, since the Nakba, been informing military, legislative and administrative Israeli operations.
When the war took place in 1967, Zionist leaders saw this as an opportunity to make some demographic changes in the occupied territory as a whole and in certain areas in particular. During and immediately after the war, some quarter a million to 420,000 Palestinians were displaced from their homes.in a continiation of Israels policy of etnic cleansing that started with the Nabka,
The Nabka is given almost no attention in history books or by the mainstream news media but is essential in understanding the ongoing violence in Israel-Palestine and the Middle East in general. Events like this are at the core of the Palestinan peoples national struggle. But in many ways, that experience pales in comparison to the calamity now unfolding in Gaza.
The Nakba, is ongoing to this day, as millions of Palestinians continue to be starved in Gaza, while thousands more are massacred and displaced from Gaza to the West Bank in Israel's ongoing genocide.
Over the past 78 years, the Palestinian people have continued to be oppressed and dispossessed, with over 7 million Palestinians living as refugees or exiles, who are still denied the right to return to the land from which they, or their family, were forcibly expelled. A right which is enshrined in international law.
The Nakba continues every day as Palestinians are evicted from their homes in East Jerusalem and the West Bank to be replaced by illegal Jewish-only settlements. It continues as Israel’s occupation obstructs and severely restricts Palestinians’ attainment of rights and fundamental freedoms, including: the right to life, the right to liberty and security of person, and their right to an adequate standard of living.
The crimes that were committed in 1948 draw haunting parallels to the action that Israeli forces have been committing in Palestine in since October 7, 2023. Today we are witnessing Israel engage in ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza on an even larger, more violent scale. The Palestinians are facing what Israeli leaders openly call the “Gaza Nakba”an unprecedented genocide of extermination and forced displacement against Palestinians in Gaza.
In the aftermath of October 7th, a second Nakba has been unfolding in Gaza before our eyes, with over 35,000 Palestinians killed. Of the 2.2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, 1.9 million people have been forcibly displaced and many of their homes have been destroyed by Israel's brutal attacks.That is well over twice the number that fled before and during the 1948 war.
The fact that members of the Israeli government are calling their assault Gaza 'the new Nabka' tells you all you need to know about their intended endgame. It's genocide.Nakba is not history. Nakba is the present. Forcibly starving and annihilating 2 millions Palestinian people is Nakba.. It’s a wound that bleeds every day.
Many of the families whose grandparents were displaced in 1948 remain displaced today, living in tents in Gaza and in refugee camps in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. Palestinians in the occupied West Bank also continue to experience the destruction of their homes, schools and sources of livelihoods.
More than 2 million people remain displaced within Gaza, many of them multiple times over; and over 1.2 million people - almost 60 percent of the Gaza Strip population - have lost their homes. Israel’s genocide has caused catastrophic damage to Gaza’s education system, leaving an estimated 728,000 children and youth without formal schooling for more than two years and resulting in the deaths of thousands of students and hundreds of educators.
In the occupied West Bank, schools, which should be places of safety and stability, are sites of fear. There have been 99 documented education-related incidents in 2026 alone, including the killing, injury and detention of students, the demolition of schools, the military use of school buildings, and denial of access.
In the first four months of this year, more than 2,500 Palestinians - including 1,100 children - have been displaced in the occupied West Bank, exceeding the total recorded in all of 2025. March 2026 saw the highest number of Palestinians injured by settler attacks in the past 20 years. Almost 350 Palestinian children from the West Bank are being held in Israeli military detention - the highest number in eight years.
The 78th anniversary of the Nakba carries particular urgency. Six months on, the ceasefire has failed to end the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, with ongoing airstrikes and severe restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid. As a result, humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate at an alarming pace. Meanwhile, violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has reached record levels.
The Nakba was never a single moment,it is a system that still displaces, erases, and confines the Palestninian people. Every demolished home, every village cut off by walls, every child growing up under siege is part of that ongoing catastrophe.
According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the number of Palestinians worldwide reached about 15.49 million by the end of 2025, more than half of them living outside historic Palestine, including 6.82 million in Arab countries.
The population of the State of Palestine stands at about 5.56 million, including 3.43 million in the West Bank and 2.13 million in the Gaza Strip, according to the bureau.
The bureau said Gaza has seen a sharp and unprecedented population decline of about 254,000 people since Israel’s war began in October 2023, citing killings, displacement and worsening living conditions. This year’s anniversary comes as Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza continues and military operations escalate in the West Bank, amid Palestinian warnings of renewed displacement attempts targeting Palestinians.
Since October 2023, Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed more than 72,000 Palestinians and wounded over 172,000 others, while causing massive destruction to homes, infrastructure, and vital facilities, in addition to a severe humanitarian crisis driven by siege conditions and shortages of food, water, and medicine.
The logic remains unchanged: sovereignty denied, displacement renewed, and the Nakba carried forward. Mass starvation as policy,, the catastrophe of the Nakba and its consequences continue to this day. Too many generations have been born into displacement, kept from their land by institutions of apartheid, ideologies of annihilation, military backing from Western powers, corporate complicity, and media distortion. But none of this has quashed the resistance of Palestinians or the resolve of people of conscience who support them.
From campuses to city councils, from the streets to the largest trade unions, a global wave of solidarity is rising. Millions of justice activists, artists, workers, students, farmers, and human rights defenders are standing up for Palestinian liberation worldwide. The Palestinian-led BDS movement is reshaping how the world relates to Israel: not as a normal state, but as a regime of genocide and apartheid that must be dismantled to achieve freedom, justice and equality.
Today let’s send a strong message of solidarity to Palestine and the Palestinian people suffering! We cannot be silent in the face of an ongoing genocide, or the constant violation of Palestinian human rights and international law.
The UK Government has repeatedly ignored its legal obligation to prevent and punish genocide, hypocritically claiming to be a champion of the ‘rule of law’ whilst enabling Israel to enforce its apartheid regime and systemically deny the humanity of all Palestinians. It’s beyond disappointing, it's disgusting.
Today, as we observe the sad sombre event of the Nakba and it's ongoing resonance, lets be stronger and more determined than ever to stand up to Israeli policies of apartheid. It is more important than ever that the international community keep defending Palestinian human rights, support Palestinian protests against forced housing demolitions and land theft and put real pressure on Israel to end its occupation and comply with international law.
The Palestinians are not going to give up and be content to mourn the ghost of Palestine. Today we remember this. The Palestinian people still belong to their land, where they still remain, in their hearts and spirits, still holding and caring for the keys of their houses for the people who left. Time drifts, but for many memory is never erased, still belonging to the land of their ancestors, where hearts and minds can never leave. It is time for the leaders of the world to understand that there is no homeland for the Palestinians except Palestine.
Every day of impunity granted to apartheid Israel brings further devastating consequences to Indigenous Palestinians and to what’s left of international law’s credibility. More than 78years later, today we're witnessing a second Nabka, millions of descendants are still denied the right to return.T
he same ideology that informed the ethnic cleansing of 1948 is the same ideology that informs the genocide of Gaza. Palestinians still have no state and no equality, Refugee camps still exist all over the world and a majority of Palestinians live in the diaspora. Palestine is occupied in the most brutal way possible.
For the nearly six million Palestinians who live between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, the nakba remains an ongoing process, against their will, the Nakba has divided the Palestinian people between Gaza and the West Bank. Still searching for justice and dignty, rememberance acts as resistance to their occupiers who still try to bury and hide their history.
The Nakba still reverberates today because Al Nakba is constant and continuing, felt through all aspects of Palestininian life, whether in Israel. the Occupied Territores, the refugees camps, or even in settled Palestinian communities abroad. Scholars agree that the Nakba has never ended. It is an ongoing reality for Palestinians throughout historic Palestine and across the diaspora.
In just one year, Israel expelled over 36,000 Palestinians from their West Bank homes, and displaced
over 2 million amid its genocide in the Gaza Strip. What we are witnessing in Gaza is not an event separate from the Nakba. It is the continuation of it.
This ongoing catastrophe is present everywhere Palestinians exist under Israeli control, violence, and influence. We see it in Masafer Yatta and across the West Bank, where armed Israeli settlers, backed by Israeli soldiers, attack Palestinian communities and force families from their land.
The current rendition of the ongoing Nakba is manifested in the Israeli Decisive Plan. It aims to eliminate Palestinian self-determination and return through the imposition of Israeli domination, spatial apartheid, and forced displacement.
In the West Bank, Palestinians are displaced, and their communities isolated by the closure apparatus, colonizers’ attacks, land confiscation, and suppression of all forms of resistance. Israeli spatial apartheid policies have been magnified in order to further fragment Palestinians and their land into macro and micro enclaves.
Since 2023, more than 5,800 Palestinians have been displaced, and 45 communities have been completely depopulated in the West Bank and Jerusalem as a result of Israeli raids, colonizer attacks, and home demolitions. In addition, over 33,000 Palestinian refugees remain displaced from the emptied and enclaved refugee camps of Tulkarm, Nur Shams and Jenin since January 2025, resulting from the “Iron Wall operation.”
The Israeli closure apparatus is marked by over 925 movement obstacles, including at least 384 iron gates, the expansion of colonizer-only bypass roads and plans to construct 34 new colonies in 2026 across the West Bank and Jerusalem.
In Jerusalem and 1948 Palestine, the Israeli regime has accelerated its suppression of Palestinians, with surges in home demolitions, mass arrests, enclaving through discriminatory zoning and planning, and surveillance disguised as “security.”
In the Gaza Strip, nearly all 2.1 million Palestinians have been internally displaced at least six or seven times, and lack adequate shelters, healthcare and education. The ongoing Israeli blockade and restrictions on aid have depleted food, water, medicine and other essential items; inducing further malnutrition that will destroy an entire generation.
Since the fake ceasefire, the Israeli regime has killed 854 Palestinians. As it continues to deliberately engineer malnutrition and a coercive environment, Palestinians are left with only three choices, as dictated in the Decisive Plan: surrender, flee or be killed.
Furthermore, the imposition of the “yellow line” has imposed an enclave within an enclave, isolating Palestinians to approximately 42% of the Gaza Strip. Under the pressure and influence of the Trump administration, UN Security Council Resolution 2803 incorporated Trump’s 20-point plan, contrary to international law and ultimately legitimizing the Israeli regime’s colonial aims, through the creation of the “Board of Peace” (BoP).
The BoP – which inexplicably includes the Israeli regime itself – supposedly coordinates billion-dollar “reconstruction” pledges from third states. Not only has the BoP usurped the role of the UN and international organizations, it has yet to provide adequate aid to the Gaza Strip; and, since the war with Iran began, aid to the Gaza Strip has dropped 80 percent.
Designed to absolve the Israeli regime from criticism, the BoP simultaneously prevents the UN and other states from intervening, and displaces legal and financial responsibility for the genocide while reframing reparations as donor-driven reconstruction. In doing so, the BoP consolidates control in external actors, sidelines Palestinians, and erodes their rights to self-determination and reparations. Resolution 2803 and Trump’s 20-point plan deny meaningful authority over governance, land, and resources while reproducing Israeli colonial domination under the guise of “reconstruction.”
Since the enforcement of its banning laws in January 2025, the Israeli regime has denied visas and permits to UNRWA, and demolished the Agency’s Jerusalem headquarters in January 2026. The Israeli regime continues to obstruct its aid and services, particularly in the Gaza Strip where UNRWA operations would save lives. Instead, there have been severe reductions in healthcare, education, and emergency services resulting from the failure of states’ to provide the Agency with the financial and political support it is due.
Former Commissioner-General Lazzarini warned: “In the absence of a significant influx of new funding, the delivery of critical services to millions of Palestine Refugees across the region will be compromised.”
By defunding and diverting their funding to other organizations, states are not only complicit in genocide but also failing to uphold Palestinian refugee rights and ensure their protection. By allowing the Israeli regime to continue its ban of a UN agency, states enable it to weaponize aid for its colonial and genocidal agenda.
Beyond the provision of aid and services, which are essential components of international protection, UNRWA has a crucial role in upholding the Palestinian right of return. The Agency is mandated to operate until the implementation of Article 11 of UN General Assembly Resolution 194: the right to reparations (including return, property restitution, compensation and non-repetition).
Fundamentally and politically, the elimination of UNRWA is part of a broader Israeli campaign to eliminate the Palestinian right of return. States’ withdrawal of political and financial support to UNRWA further entrenches their complicity and violates their obligation to provide protection.
States are not only obligated to support UNRWA, but they must also reject any frameworks that endorse its elimination, such as Trump’s 20-point plan, the BoP and the Israeli laws banning UNRWA.
This includes the UN’s Strategic Assessment of UNRWA, which provides scenarios for its collapse. Importantly, states’ endorsement of colonial approaches and mechanisms serve to normalize Israeli crimes, and their entrenchment across historic Palestine and the region.
The application of the Israeli regime’s genocidal playbook to Lebanon is another example of this normalization and entrenchment. Allowing Israeli violations of another fake ceasefire has resulted in the displacement of over 1 million people under the guise of evacuation, the targeting of UN personnel and premises as well as humanitarians and journalists, and the destruction of entire villages and public and service infrastructure to prevent return and secure Israeli colonial expansion.
Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, including those that were forcibly displaced from Syria, have been displaced yet again. In line with the Decisive Plan, Israeli colonial expansion is to be extended beyond Palestine, into Lebanon but Syria, Jordan and Egypt in order to establish “Greater Israel.”
Support for the Israeli regime is also reflected in states’ policies at home: repressing, silencing, and criminalizing any and all forms of solidarity with the Palestinian people. With the EU once again maintaining its economic agreement with the Israeli regime, and entrenching its complicity, it is more vital than ever that the solidarity movement escalate its direct actions to disrupt the status quo and impose material cost.
Only through sustained and concerted pressure on states to end their complicity and impose military, political and economic sanctions on the Israeli colonial-apartheid regime will its crimes come to an end.
Israel has never been held to account for the Nakba 78 years ago and isn’t being held to account for its apartheid today. On the 78th Anniversary of the Nakba we musr reaffirm the eternal truth Palestine was, and remains, the land of one people, the Palestinian people, despite their pain, displacement,and decades and decades of struggle.
We must call on the Government of Israel to respect the ceasefire, ensure the protection of civilians, and urgently allow unhindered humanitarian aid into Gaza.
We must urge the UK Government to take all meaningful legal, diplomatic and economic action to hold perpetrators accountable and bring an end to Israel’s systematic violations of international law, atrocities against Palestinians, and illegal occupation.
Accountability for ongoing Israeli crimes and states’ complicity begins with sanctions to dismantle the structures of Israeli domination and oppression. Imposing a comprehensive rights-based decolonization framework, that centers the Palestinian people’s rights to self-determination and return, is the only solution to the ongoing Nakba.
Nakba day is both a day of commemoration for atrocities committed and a commitment to justice for Palestinians. It is a stark reminder of the longstanding and ongoing nature of Israel’s settler colonial project, and of Palestinian sumud, steadfastness, in the face of it. It is a rallying cry for all of us who stand in solidarity with Palestinians and others in the region to do everything in our power to bring this catastrophe to an end. Today is a day for justice and liberation.for us to reimagine a future where Palestinans live in peace and dignity. From the rivers to the sea, Free Palestine!
