Reckoning With the Nakba That Never Ended

NABLUS, WEST BANK, PALESTINE - 2023/04/11: An Israeli soldier aims his rifle from behind a wall during a military operation after the Israeli army forces killed Palestinian gunmen, near Elon Moreh, east of Nablus, in the West Bank. Two Palestinian gunmen were shot dead by Israeli soldiers. According to Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, the two gunmen opened fire at the Israeli soldiers near the Jewish settlement of Elon Moreh, which caused the clashes between them and resulted in the death of the two Palestinian gunmen. The gunmen are identified as Mohammed Abu Dhraa and Soud al-Titi. Both their bodies were taken under the custody of the Israeli military.

The Technology of Occupation Has Become One of Israel's Main Exports

The 1948 Palestinian exodus, known in Arabic as the Nakba (Arabic: an-Nakbah, lit.'catastrophe'), occurred when more than 700,000 Palestinian Arabs fled or were expelled from their homes, during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine and the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The exact number of refugees is a matter of dispute, but around 80 percent of the Arab inhabitants of what became Israel (50 percent of the Arab total of Mandatory Palestine) left or were expelled from their homes. Later in the war, Palestinians were forcibly expelled as part of 'Plan Dalet' in a policy of 'ethnic cleansing'.
