THIS month marks the 75th anniversary of the start of the Nakba — the brutal driving out of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes and the ongoing catastrophe of violence, repression and discrimination that has followed it.

The years since have seen the constant expansion of settlements recognised as illegal by the United Nations, the murder of thousands of civilians — almost a hundred so far this year — and the systematic destruction of the economy and life chances of Palestinians.
