PALESTINIANS will mark on Wednesday the 76th year of their mass expulsion from what is now Israel, an event that is at the core of their national struggle. 

This comes amid the ongoing Israeli onslaught against the Palestinians in Gaza.

Palestinians refer to the events 76 years ago as the Nakba, which is Arabic for “catastrophe.”
