Tomorrow, May 15, is Nakba Day. It commemorates the catastrophe that occurred to the Palestinians since 1948 when Israel was founded. I had thought that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the worst events of Harry S. Truman\u2019s presidency. I now include the founding of Israel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To honor Nakba, American Friends of the Parents Circle- Families Forum quote several grieving Palestinians:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Nakba destroyed my family, like other refugee families. It transformed us from farmers and land owners to tent-dwellers living on UNRWA aid.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Nakba means the same thing today as it did in 1948. It continues today, even if it’s happening at a slower pace or by different means. It’s a story of a continuous pain, and the world must hear the voice of those in pain.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
