Al Nakba

I never understood why a lot of people from the Arab world blame so many things on Zionist plots until I started to understand the Nakba. ( the catastrophe)

Some people claim the Nakba was an event in 1948 (May 15th) and others deny that it happened. Hillary Clinton denies it happened while accusing Palestinians of denying the holocaust.


The Nakba has been the last 60 years.

The Nakba goes on.

Palestinians continue to have their homes demolished and their land stolen. Palestinians continue to be made refugees.

The Nakba includes the massacre of Jannin and the siege of Gaza.

The Nakba is a globally accepted facts as the belief that the earth goes round the sun is a fact. Zionist want Palestinian children to learn about the holocaust but not the Nakba. Hillary Clinton supports such a policy.

Nakba denial is far worse than Holocaust denial. The latter is almost universally condemned, and diminishes the role the denier plays in public discourse. In fact, there are numerous instances of false accusations of Holocaust denial designed for precisely that reason, to smear the critics of Zionism as deniers There is no danger of Holocaust denial catching on. Nakba denial, on the other hand, is mainstream. People can deny that the creation of Israel caused a catastrophe among the Palestinian people and nobody would react. In fact, recognizing the Nakba requires actual courage, as it inevitably would invite smears and accusations of anti-Semitism.

Furthermore, the Nakba is ongoing. The Holocaust ended more than 60 years ago, and terrible as it was, the good guys won. Palestinians, on the other hand, are still suffering greatly, dispossessed of their lands in 1948 and of any semblance of freedom since 1967.
