There was a protest outside Sheffield Town Hall on Saturday 15th May 2010, organised by the Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign to commemorate Nakba Day.
62 years of Nakba (1948 Palestinian catastrophe)
In 1948 over 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes and their lands by a systematic campaign of terrorism. The Israeli state legitimised the theft of their lands, houses, property and businesses, offering no compensation and has continued to refuse the right of the refugees to return.
The creation of the state of Israel was an act of dispossession – a brutal, colonialist assault on the Palestinians. 2008 marks 60 years since that first ethnic cleansing of Palestine and the creation of the state of Israel.
