Palestinians Commemorate 77th Anniversary of Nakba Amid Israeli Genocide
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel's brutal assault on Gaza continued as Palestinians commemorated
the 77th anniversary of the Nakba - which means "catastrophe" in Arabic
- when some 700,000 Palestinians fled from or were violently expelled
from their homes by Israel's founders. This is a Palestinian resident of
Ramallah who joined Nakba Day marches in the occupied West Bank.

Mohammed Abu Qaiydah: "Despite all of the circumstances, we are
maintaining our land and rooted here. Our right of return will never be
forgotten, and Palestine will always be Palestine."
