Remembrance of Nakba forbidden in Israel

Israeli Knesset (parliament) voted on Wednesday to prevent any commemoration of an-Nakba (the Catastrophe), the day in which the historic land of Palestine was taken away from its original inhabitants (Arabs) when the Jewish state of Israel was created.   

Palestinians flee from massacre
The law has been condemned by human rights advocates as racist, revisionist and divisive, designed to provoke anger among Palestinians living under Israeli occupation.    

The 20% of Israeli citizens who are Palestinian Arabs will be forced to celebrate Israel's Independence Day which coincides with an-Nakba.

The catastrophe or the disaster occurred when approximately 725,000 Palestinians were expelled from their land during 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the Zionist imposed terror war that preceded it.

Arab inhabitants of the land of Palestine were terrorised to leave their homes by massacres such as those committed on the village of Deir Yassin by Jewish terrorist groups in April 1948.
