6/ The Golan Heights, West Bank, and Gaza remain under military occupation today. Palestinians in the West Bank outside of East Jerusalem have lived under martial law since 1967, dictating nearly every aspect of daily life.

Today, the Nakba continues, as a process of dispossession and oppression of the Palestinians. They still live under siege, occupation, and continued forced displacement. The Nakba continues, at its worst under the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Caabu (Council for Arab-British Understanding) @caabu.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

In Gaza, around 70% of Palestinians are refugees. Britain has a historic responsibility. Its withdrawal from Palestine was reckless and irresponsible with no attempt at ensuring an orderly departure. The Nakba started before May 1948 whilst British forces were still in Palestine.

Caabu (Council for Arab-British Understanding) @caabu.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Today, 15th May 2026 marks 78 years since the Nakba or the "catastrophe", the mass displacement of Palestinians from their homes in 1947-49. More than 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced, and denied the right of return to their homes. www.instagram.com/p/DYWtnQ7DKz...
