Palestinians Commemorate 77th Anniversary of Nakba Amid Israeli Genocide

HeadlineMay 15, 2025

Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza continued as Palestinians commemorated the 77th anniversary of the Nakba — which means “catastrophe” in Arabic — when some 700,000 Palestinians fled from or were violently expelled from their homes by Israel’s founders. This is a Palestinian resident of Ramallah who joined Nakba Day marches in the occupied West Bank.

Mohammed Abu Qaiydah: “Despite all of the circumstances, we are maintaining our land and rooted here. Our right of return will never be forgotten, and Palestine will always be Palestine.”
