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.
Over five hundred villages were destroyed in that first push to force Palestinians out. But Nakba is a continuing process, not a one-off event. 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.
The right of Palestinians to return to their homes is enshrined in international law and is a fundamental human right, one that any civilised nation should support and demand.
