Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

The Nakba never ended. Palestinians have lived for more than half a century under Israeli military dictatorship and land theft in the occupied West Bank, and the United States has been complicit through all of it. Ending the Nakba requires ending America’s support for Israeli apartheid.

Israel has approved 102 new illegal settlements on Palestinian land since 2023. “If a settlement is built, it won’t just take the land it stands on. It will expand around it, turning the surrounding areas into closed military zones.” dropsitenews.com/p/west-bank-ne…
