SPECIAL ANALYSIS: Israel is afraid of Palestinian memory, since it is the only facet of its war against the Palestinian people that it cannot fully control.

For years, social media has added a whole new stratum to this process of commemoration. #Nakba72, along with #NakbaDay and #Nakba, have all trended on Twitter for days.

The dominant Nakba narrative remains – 72 years following the destruction of historic #Palestine at the hands of #Zionist militias – an opportunity to reassert the centrality of the Right of Return for Palestinian refugees.

"I submit, therefore, that this year is not the [72nd] anniversary of the Nakba at all, but rather one more year of enduring its brutality; that the history of the Nakba has never been a history of the past but decidedly a history of the present." electronicintifada.net/content/resist…
Extracts from Joseph Massad's brilliant 2008 Nakba essay: "While Israel has succeeded in imposing physical & geographic realities, its attempt to obliterate historical memory has failed. Palestinians are always standing in the way of its falsification of their history & its own"
"To identify the Nakba as a past and finished event is to declare its success and insist on the irreversibility of its achievements. It is to insist that there is no longer a struggle to define it, nor a successful resistance that stands in its way" #Nakba72

@buffsoldier_96 Edward Said in an interview with Avi Shavit:

“[Q] In a binational state, the Jews will quickly become a minority, like the Lebanese Christians.

“[A] … the Jews are a minority everywhere. They are a minority in America. They can
certainly be a minority in Israel.”

/1
@buffsoldier_96 [Q] Knowing the region and given the history of the conflict, do you think such a Jewish minority would be treated fairly?

[A] “I worry about that. The history of minorities in the
Middle East has not been as bad as in Europe, but I wonder what would happen. /2
@buffsoldier_96 It worries me a great deal.The question of what is going to be the fate of the Jews is very difficult for me. I really don’t know. It worries me.” [-]

“[Q]So what you envision is a totally new situation in which a Jewish minority would live peacefully within an Arab context?

"Bendeniz kara yoluyla ilk Hacca giden kafilelerde bulundum. Biliyorsunuz, uzun bir süre Hacca gitmek yasaktı...

Kudüs’e dört beş otobüs peş peşe geldik. Biz, tam kapının olduğu yerden şehre girdik, birdenbire gök gürledi. Bir rahmet, bir yağmur ki sormayın... Fesübhanallah!
Fakat o anda acayip bir şey oldu. Normalde yağmur yağdığında herkes sokaklardan kaçar, ıslanmamak için bir yere dâhil olur. Ama Kudüs’te yağmurun yağmasıyla insanlar sokağa döküldü.

Bizim Hacıların bulunduğu otobüs kafilesinin etrafı insan seline döndü.
Öyle ki arabaları sallıyor, pencerelere vuruyor, ağlayarak ve yüksek sesle bir şeyler söylüyorlardı. Ben de görevliye sordum: 'Kardeşim, ne bu gürültü, ne bu nümayiş? Bunlar ne bağırıp çağırıyorlar?' diye.

Kafile başkanı ağlayarak bana ne dese beğenirsiniz?

THREAD: This is Burin, my father’s hometown in Palestine. My father remembers what that place was like before Israel’s occupation. Today, this town is known for being one of the most targeted by Israeli settler violence. #MyPalestineStory #Nakba72
There are people over 50 in this town who have known nothing but brutal foreign military rule for their entire lives. Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine is the longest in modern history, with no end in sight (Israel's illegal annexation is about to declare it permanent).
Today marks 72 years of the Nakba, which is often mistook for a historical event whose memory needs to be kept alive.

"La Naqba de 1948, elle est toujours là, une blessure béante, une blessure toujours saignante, tout un peuple y est lié. Elle est Partout, elle est dans tout.

Elle est les camps de réfugiés et les ruelles de la misère et les massacres et la terreur et l’humiliation à tout moment.
Elle est les vieux et les moins vieux attendant toute une vie l’heure du retour,
#Nakba72 #NakbaDay #Nakba2020 #KeyToJustice
gardant en main avec tendresse des vieilles clés qu’on passe de père en fils jusqu’à nos jours… Elle est le crime qu’on reproduit devant les yeux de tout le monde.

In 70 yrs, the UNHCR, the committee responsible for refugees worldwide, has re-settled some 50 MILLION refugees
In the same time, UNRWA, responsible solely for Palestinian refugees has resettled NONE - not one, single, solitary "Palestinian refugee"
#Nakba72
The number of Palestinian "refugees" in 1948 is estimated at around 750,000. However, unlike ALL OTHER refugees, Palestinian refugees retain their status in perpetuity, so even if they're born elsewhere & never set foot in "Palestine" they retain the refugee status
#Nakba72
Their children and their children's children also take on refugee status, regardless of them having been born in and being given citizenship of the country in which they reside - and receive a stipend for life

8-year-old Fatima Radwan witnessed Zionist militias massacring her family in the village of Deir Yassin. 72 years later, Fatima dreams of return: “If you told me Palestine is liberated, I swear I’d be the first one back.” [Part one of two] #Nakba72
Part two of Fatima’s story:
On April 9, 1948, Zionist militias invaded the village of Deir Yassin. They killed 37 members of Fatima’s family. Zionist forces killed over 100 Palestinians in the village. #Nakba72 haaretz.com/israel-news/MA…

#Nakba72 is #ThePalestinianLie whereby Palestinian Arabs were commanded to leave #Israel by the Arab League, who promised to annihilate the Jews. In 1948 they hijacked the Shoah to pretend they were victims. They've been claiming victimhood ever since.
Pls retweet this thread

#Nakba72 is another #ThePalestinianLie whereby Israel's enemies hijacked Jewish suffering & symbols as their own.

#Nakba72 is the remarketing of their attempt to wipe out Jews & Jewish history from the land of #Israel. The Jewish Homeland
3)
#Nakba72 and #ThePalestinianLie. No independent country of #Palestine has ever existed. The only land these Arabs have EVER owned is land sliced off of the Jewish Homeland and given to them in 1993-1995 per the Oslo Agreements

Imagine this: You’ve lived in your hometown for decades, surrounded by your family and friends. But one day, gun-toting militias show up. You flee in terror. Then another family moves into your house--and you are banned from returning. #Nakba72

Land theft and forced displacement was only the beginning. Zionist militias looted tens of thousands of books, paintings, musical recordings, furniture, and other Palestinian homes, libraries, and government offices. #Nakba72 middleeasteye.net/big-story/stea…
