Between 1917 and 1948, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced to leave their homeland at the threat of violence in an event called "Al Nakba", meaning "The Catastrophe" in Arabic.
In this episode, my guest and I discuss how the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and the 1947 United Nations partitioning of Palestine created an environment which delegitimized Palestinian rights to their own land, and paved the way for ongoing Palestinian expulsion.
The term "Nakba" was banned from Israeli schools in 2009, illustrating the significant ongoing struggle for recognition that Palestinians face, and highlighting the exact reason why this topic should not be allowed to be erased from history.
