Poster issued in 1967, to commemorate event
Yesterday June 5th saw the 48th anniversary of the Naksa (the setback) when Israel illegally seized what was left of the Palestininian's historic homeland.( the Sinai, the Golan heights,the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem )
In 1967 more than 400,000 Palestinians were expelled by Israel from their land , making it the secomnd expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland since the Nakba ( the Catastrophe) in 1948 when 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled to neighboring Arab countries by Zionist terror groups, and 150,000 Palestinians became internally displaced in the newly born state.
It took less than a week for the Palestinians to be forcibly displaced for the second time. A truly dark moment in history. The life in refugee camps, is truly miserable, whether in Lebanon, Syria or Jordan, the Palestinians today seek justice, freedom and Israel to abide by International law and allow Palestinian refugees their right to return to their homelands.
