What is Nakba? The day when Palestine’s ethnic cleansing began, explained

Nakba Day is observed on May 15 ever since the Zionist militias invaded Palestine on this day in 1948 and expelled tens of thousands of people from their homes.

In 1948, Zionist militias expelled 700,000 Palestinians from their native land through a campaign that included murder, rape, and intimidation.

Millions of Palestinians and their supporters worldwide will mark 73 years since the ‘Nakba’ or ‘catastrophe’ on May 15, a day that coincides with the Israeli declaration of independence.
