Palestinians are preparing to mark the 70th<\/sup> anniversary of the Nakba. <\/strong>We invite you to join the many local and national events being organised by PSC\u00a0in solidarity with Palestine.<\/p>\n The Nakba, or \u2018catastrophe\u2019 took place between 1947 and 1949, when Zionist paramilitary forces ethnically cleansed Palestinians from their land. Today, an estimated 7 million Palestinian refugees are still denied their right to go home.<\/p>\n But<\/strong> the Nakba did not end in with the creation of Israel in May of 1948. <\/strong>Israel continues to dispossess Palestinians and ethnically cleanse them from their land. 70 years of occupation, colonisation, and apartheid is 70 years too many. That\u2019s why showing solidarity in the UK is more important than ever. <\/strong><\/p>\n There are five things you can do to show solidarity with Palestinians this month:<\/p>\n 1. Download the Nakba Resource pack<\/a>, which is full of information and resources you can use to engage your community and hold events and activities<\/p>\n 2. Visit national PSC\u00a0dedicated page on \u201970 years of Nakba\u2019<\/a> where you can find a factsheet on the Right of Return, and social media graphics you can share<\/p>\n 3. Come to the Sheffield protest<\/a> or\u00a0Attend the national demonstration<\/a> in London on May 11th<\/sup> in solidarity with Palestine after 70 Years of Nakba and in protest at Israel\u2019s premeditated murder of peaceful protestors at the Great March of Return in Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Palestinians are preparing to mark the 70th anniversary of the Nakba.
