Palestinian land must be returned to the Palestinians
Global protests will mark the anniversary of the Nakba, when Israel illegally seized huge swathes of land – and this is not a historical tragedy, but an ongoing process of colonisation that must be opposed by Labour, argues HUGH LANNING

THE eviction of 1,000 Palestinian villagers from Masafer Yatta, an area in the hills south of Hebron in the West Bank, has now been given approval to go ahead by Israel’s High Court.
Although involving a large number of Palestinians in one decision, it is but the latest in a continuous process of “legalised theft” that has been depriving the Palestinians of their land and heritage since 1948 and before.
This weekend sees a demonstration marking the Nakba in 1948 when over 720,000 Palestinians were driven off their land and out of their villages and homes by armed Israeli terror gangs with the connivance and support of the British army and government.
