“Nakba 77: Reaffirming Palestinian Return & Liberation”
by American Muslims for Palestine (AMP)
This is a special webinar where the Palestinian Nakba is front and center. The Nakba in Arabic means catastrophe, and rests in the collective memory of the Palestinian people. The Nakba represents the ongoing forcible displacement, ethnic cleansing, land theft, and systematic oppression of the Palestinian people.
While the Nakba resulted in the shattering of the Palestinian collective, it also consolidated a shared national consciousness that is expressed in the unceasing steadfastness, resilience, and resistance of the Palestinian people.
The past 19 months represent the most extreme period of the Nakba, where Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza persists unabated, aided and abetted with US weapons and tax dollars, not to mention IOF and by extension settler violence in the West Bank, not to mention the already existent apartheid regime impacting all Palestinians.
As we commemorate 77 years of the Nakba, the Palestinian people remain steadfast and have avowedly reaffirmed their right to return and achieve liberation in their ancestral homeland, Palestine.
Join us on Thursday, May 15th @ 8:00 PM EST and hear from our wonderful guests:
