64 Years Since The Nakba :: www.uruknet.info :: informazione dal medio oriente :: information from middle east :: [vs-1]: Tomorrow, Tuesday 15th May, is the 64th anniversary of the Nakba. Nakba means "Catastrophe" in Arabic. It refers to the destruction of Palestinian society in 1948 when more than 700,000 Palestinians fled or were forced into exile by Israeli troops. Because the Palestinians were not Jewish, their presence and predominant ownership of the land were obstacles to the creation of a Jewish state.
