“Arab villages are still being burned in the Gaza District...bewildered, homeless refugees are congesting the area from Gaza to Khan Yunis to Rafah with despair on their faces as they watch the smoke from their burning villages mounting into the desert sky.”

This quote isn’t from the latest UN report documenting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

It’s from a December 1948 American Red Cross report describing Israel’s Nakba, or “catastrophe” in English, when the Israeli military drove the vast majority of Palestinians from their homes in a massive campaign of ethnic cleansing.

The Nakba is not just a historical event but an ongoing reality for Palestinians. This May marks 77 years of Israel’s continuous efforts to try to erase Palestinians from their homeland.

As Israel continues its genocidal violence in Gaza and threatens to expel more than 2 million people with the blessing of the Trump administration, Israel’s ongoing Nakba against Palestinians has reached frightening new levels.

On May 14, Rep. Rashida Tlaib–the only Palestinian-American Member of Congress–introduced a historic resolution--H.Res.409--to commemorate the Nakba and call for an end to US support for Israel’s ongoing dispossession of the Palestinian people.

We need more Members of Congress than ever before to raise their voices against Israel’s ongoing Nakba.
