NAKBA ► OCCUPATION ► SETTLEMENTS

PALESTINE 1947-TODAY

The Nakba – “catastrophe”– began in 1948 with the forced expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinians from their homes and villages.

In 1967 Israel illegally occupied the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem – an occupation which continues to this day.

Now over 500,000 settlers live in illegal Israeli settlements built on Palestinian land.

Over 5 million Palestinians are forced to live as refugees – exiled and denied the right to return to their homeland.

The ethnic cleansing by Israel continues. Palestine is disappearing.

With its checkpoints and the Wall in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and its blockade of Gaza, Israel divides, segregates and imprisons Palestinians in their own land.

PSC is campaigning to end Israel’s racism and apartheid, and for a Free Palestine.
