Milwaukee, May 15: Al-Nakba: Rally for the Right to Return!

Join a coalition of Milwaukee Palestine solidarity organizations as we remember Al-Nakba, and demand the right of return, and the end of illegal Israeli settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing.

Between 1947 and 1949, Jewish-Zionist and Israeli military forces forcibly expelled over 800,000 Palestinians from their homeland, destroying hundreds of Palestinian villages and massacring Palestinian men, women and children. This is known to Palestinians as “Al-Nakba” which means, “The Catastrophe” in Arabic.

Today, Al-Nakba continues as the State of Israel expands it’s occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. We demand the Right of Return to millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants.
