A side-by-side comparison showing the face of an extremely emaciated person identified with #Dachau in 1945 on the left, juxtaposed with another severely emaciated face identified with #Gaza in 2025 on the right. Both individuals have gaunt cheeks and sunken eyes. Text overlays each face, with "Dachau" and "1945" under the left face, and "Gaza" and "2025" under the right face. Between them is an emblem and the text "Historia Islamica," along with smaller print reading "com Mansur Peixoto."
The image draws a parallel between the suffering in Dachau and the situation in Gaza.

« Quel homme pourrait jamais être si injuste et si dépourvu de cœur qu’il n’éprouve d’amour pour la terre où il a respiré pour la première fois l’air de la vie, et pour qui le souvenir de cette terre ne revienne pas toujours comme un souvenir des plus doux ? » Giambattista Bodoni, Parme le 17 septembre 1784.
[…] If we are thirsty, we will squeeze the rock, and if we are hungry, we will eat the earth. We will not leave. Here we have a past, present, and future.
Zionist historians, such as Benny Morris, dismiss personal accounts of survivors and eyewitnesses, except for those who were #Holocaust survivors. In fact, Israel’s ethos is built on these accounts, albeit retrospectively. These accounts have been exploited to justify the genocide of the Palestinian people.
The #Tantura massacre, an event of the Nakba that Israelis are still unable to acknowledge, has been a subject of controversy in recent years. Documentaries exposing the horror of the massacre continue to be produced today. Here’s a story of a second-generation #Nakba survivor from her speech at the ceremony commemorating the ongoing Nakba on May 14th, Antin Square, Tel Aviv University (which stands on the lands of Sheikh Munis).
—————-
Ayoub, Muhsen, Dasouki, and Kanaanah. These are the names of my families, from different places in historical Palestine. In a parallel world, where the Nakba had not occurred, I would have grown up in Ajzam, my father's family's village, and I would spend every weekend at my grandfather's house, facing the coast in Tantura. I was supposed to be a daughter of the Carmel, and even though I am now a daughter of the Carmel and the coastal plain, it is much more complicated... I remember the age when I began to see the difference between my grandfathers. One would go to Ajzam, today Kerem Maharal. The other would walk down to the beach of Tantura every morning, and I would accompany both of them on their walks.
I don't know how to tell you this story. The most appropriate thing is to tell it to you as it is. My grandfather, Youssef, is a survivor of the Tantura massacre. He was six years old at the time of the massacre, when he saw his loved ones killed, and was forced to bury some of his family with his own hands. His entire family is buried under the ruins of the village. Today, this area has a parking lot for visitors to the beach, which has been given the name "Dor Beach."
My grandfather was not one of those who talked about and shared the story of their displacement. He was one of those who lived the tragedy in silence and pain. Until a certain age, I was unable to understand his insistence on visiting the beach every day. Until one day he said that he had one wish in life – to die on the beach of Tantura. My grandfather did not continue with his wish, and did not say that he wanted to be buried on the beach of Tantura, because he knew that a thick layer of asphalt separated him from his wish.
My grandfather on the other side, Hassan, was a farmer who loved his land. He taught us to love the land like him and to enjoy picking za'atar, hubeza, and everything that the good land gives us. He used to describe Ajzam as a paradise, where pure springs flow. Although he was displaced and lived in several places since that cursed day, in Ein Hod or in my current residence of Furaydis, the name Ajzam always remained on his lips. He would glorify it to such an extent that if one of his grandchildren showed intelligence or talent, my grandfather would say to him with great pride: "You are truly a Jazmawi."
Despite the different stories, both of my grandfathers felt the pain of losing land and saw their loved ones die before their eyes. Israel not only stole the land and the lives of those who lived on it, it also stole their dreams and wishes, it stole their lives. I want to go back and complete the story of my grandfather Youssef – the Tanturi. The story of my grandfather's life ended two years ago, but it accompanies me to this day. His wish that I told you about came true. On a day like any other, two years ago, my grandfather went for a walk on the beach of Tantura – and fate decided to fulfill his last wish. My grandfather died of a heart attack on the beach of Tantura, after he finished walking, breathed the air of Tantura, and was satisfied with the beauty of its landscapes.
My grandfather Youssef's story is indeed a sad story, but I, as his granddaughter, would not wish him any other fate. He was born in Tantura and returned to it. How can I wish something else for someone who was always singing about Tantura: "You filled my heart with your love. Wrap yourself in my eyelashes and sleep in peace. And like your land, I have not loved and to my blood it is equal." Both of my grandfathers continued to Furaydis, which was a safe haven for them. But my story does not end there.
Israel, in its criminal ways, has tried and is still trying to erase everything Palestinian. The war of extermination against our people in Gaza is still ongoing. Since its beginning, many stories have been added to the stories of the Nakba – more than 70,000 stories. From this platform, I want to promise my grandfather and our heroic people clinging to their homeland in Gaza that we will preserve your stories and tell them to preserve the memory. They will be the answer to any attempt to separate us from our people and from their right to return and liberation.
And because we are a proud, stubborn, and living people, I found in the stories of our family displacement the story of Palestine. My grandfather Youssef fulfilled his wish and died on the beach of Tantura as he wished. I found the spring of Ajzam and drank from its waters, and I met my neighbor from #Ajzam on the path of struggle. But the road is still long. The Palestinian students, and all our people who remained in their homeland, promise that we will continue on this path until the end – until liberation, return, and the Palestinian state. We are here to stay, and if you do not agree – drink the sea water. We will preserve the shade of the fig and olive tree and sow thoughts, like yeast in dough, with coolness and a burning heart. If we are thirsty, we will squeeze the rock, and if we are hungry, we will eat the earth. We will not leave. Here we have a past, present, and future.

Thousands march for Palestine in Washington DC

@murchadhfinn very much appreciate the screenshot, as Haaretz is behind a paywall
When Rabin was assassinated, less than 30% of Israeli citizens identified with the right wing. It’s now approaching 70%
Would the world have ever feared “Islamic terrorism” had the displacement of Palestinians never happened (the #nakba)?
The vigils continue
As the horror in Gaza continues, so do the vigils in Salisbury. information about forthcoming film event
May 2025
Saturday 24th May was the 77th vigil to be held in Salisbury with a healthy attendance as is usual. It has been remarkable that up to 40 attend each week in this activity with no real organisation and very little promotion. There has been only one mention in the local paper and it is noteworthy that the local MP has never appeared nor mentioned the vigil in his weekly column courtesy of the Salisbury Journal: that is 77 vigils and no appearance.
A crucial element in the continuing death toll and destruction is the nature of the information which is being provided to the British people. A talk is being given on this very subject on 6 June entitled Censoring Palestine it will be on June 6th starting at 7 for 7:30 and is free with a parting collection. It will be at the United Reform Church, in Fisherton Street in Salisbury.
Poor information
There are many aspects to the poor information which the public is receiving about the conflict. These include:
- A deep fear by the BBC in particular and the Labour Party more generally, about being labelled ‘anti-Semitic’. The Israeli government has waged a relentless and largely successful campaign to label any criticism of their actions as such and also being ‘pro-Hamas’. This is ironic since it was Netanyahu and others in his government who funded and supported Hamas in an attempt to weaken the PLO to stave off claims for a Palestinian state. In recent months, the BBC has begun to stiffen its coverage but it is refusing to broadcast the latest film on the area.
- The Israeli government has prevented outside journalists from entering Gaza making objective reporting very difficult. Journalist who are there are subject to intimidation and 180 have been killed by various means. This has enabled claims that individuals are being used as ‘human shields’ by Hamas and that hospitals are ‘control centres’ for them, to justify the continued destruction of property and hospitals.
- Very little evidence has ever been provided by the Israelis to demonstrate these claims. We have never been shown a ‘control centre’ despite the frequency of the claims as to their existence.
- A successful campaign to establish as a supposed fact that all the recent events started on October 7th with the horrific attack by Hamas where 1,200 Israelis were killed and 251 taken hostage. Western media rarely mention 1948. Huge numbers of people in the UK are unaware of the ferocious assault on Palestinians which took place in 1948 and on into 1949. Between 750,000 and 1 million were forcibly displaced, thousands killed on the spot or made to walk huge distances towards Jordan or other parts. Village after village was destroyed. To read of the methods employed by the Stern Gang and Hagana in the clearing of vast areas of Palestinians is a distressing experience. Known as the Nakba, it is seldom referred to in our media leaving the overriding impression that recent events were all as a result of October 7th.
- Biased language used to describe events. For example, Hamas seized 251 ‘hostages’ some of whom it still holds. In some of the exchanges which took place it is reported that Palestinian ‘prisoners’ were exchanged for Israeli ‘hostages’. The so-called prisoners however, were little more than hostages having been arrested without warrants by IDF personnel, never brought to court, not allowed legal representation, brutally tortured and moved from prison to prison in Israel. Quite what is the difference between a Hamas hostage and an Israeli prisoner? British media persist in this confusion of language. It has falsely given the impression of a terrorist group giving up hostages in exchange for individuals who have been through the court process for committing a crime
There are some welcome signs of change certainly on TV coverage. Channel 4 in particular and the BBC to an extent are beginning to devote longer chunks of time and to display the terrible carnage that is Gaza. Right wing media still persist, for example in the Daily Telegraph where we see the October 7th argument repeated again: “Lammy’s decision, therefore, to jump on the anti-Zionist bandwagon by suspending trade talks with Israel over its “intolerable” military operations in Gaza is entirely in keeping with his world view. Rather than condemning the real architects of Gaza’s misery, the Iranian-backed Hamas jihadis who started the conflict with their murderous October 7 assault on Israel.” Note ‘intolerable’ in inverted commas and criticism of Israel as ‘anti-Zionist’.
It will be interesting to hear of the views in Censoring Palestine on 6 June.

[Excellent article]
"A second #Nakba is unfolding, not in secret, not whispered through trembling lips, not passed as rumours between fleeing survivors, but in the full, merciless light of day.
It is live-streamed. Captioned. Digitised. A genocide unfolding in high definition and real time.
This is no echo of 1948. It is its evolution. Its mutation. The same machinery of erasure, now upgraded, modernised, militarised, and globally broadcast.
More ruthless.
More unapologetic."

The Jewish Exodus and The Palestinian Right of Return - Response to the Ethnonationalist Ethan Klein
This is a very valuable conversation, IMO: "For episode 194, @ayoub is joined by Amos Goldberg, Professor of Holocaust History at the Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Goldberg is among the most vocal Israeli historians of the Holocaust to have called Israel’s actions in Gaza genocide. In 2024, he wrote a paper for the Journal of Genocide Research on the question of intent, which we explored in part 1.
In this episode, the second part of their conversation, they get into the crisis within Holocaust and Genocide Studies since the start of the Gaza genocide.
In the last segment, they spoke about “The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History”, which Goldberg co-edited, and argue for the necessity of new horizons in our imaginaries."

Context (taken from Hadash-Ta'al party’s website):
Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana (#Likud) ordered Odeh's removal after he stated that Israel had killed 19,000 children in Gaza. During his speech, Odeh criticized the far-right coalition members, saying: "You don't know how weak I see you, you are very weak. After a year and a half of war in which you killed 19,000 children and 53,000 people, destroyed all the universities, destroyed all the hospitals - you feel there is no political solution, so you're going crazy."
The proposed legislation:
Odeh's bill would have required anyone who publishes or distributes information denying the #Nakba to attend an educational workshop. The workshop would teach "historical, ethical and cultural principles relating to the Nakba and its impact on the Palestinian people."
The bill was overwhelmingly defeated with 65 MKs voting against and only 5 MKs from Hadash-Ta'al supporting it.
Odeh stated the proposal wasn't motivated by revenge, explaining: "Dealing with historical truth is a necessary condition for real reconciliation between peoples. We want to base relations between the two peoples on truth, respect and reciprocity - not on denial, contempt and supremacy."
Historia «La nakba palestina de 1947-1949 (Memoria histórica)»
La Nakba Palestina de 1948: Memoria Histórica
La Nakba (en árabe, «la catástrofe») es el nombre con el que el pueblo palestino denomina la serie de acontecimientos ocurridos entre 1947 y 1949, en el contexto de la creación del Estado de Israel y la primera guerra árabe-israelí, que resultaron en la destrucción de la sociedad palestina, la expulsión forzosa de la mayoría de su población y la pérdida de su patria histórica125.
¿Qué ocurrió durante la Nakba?
- El 29 de noviembre de 1947, la Asamblea General de la ONU aprobó la resolución 181, que preveía la partición del Mandato británico de Palestina en dos Estados, uno judío y otro árabe, y Jerusalén bajo administración internacional. Los líderes judíos aceptaron el plan, pero los palestinos lo rechazaron111.
- Tras la aprobación del plan, estalló una guerra civil entre comunidades judía y árabe palestina, marcada por ataques, masacres y desplazamientos forzosos. El 14 de mayo de 1948, Israel declaró su independencia y, al día siguiente, comenzó la guerra árabe-israelí con la intervención de los países árabes vecinos110.
- Durante el conflicto, más de 700.000 palestinos fueron expulsados o huyeron de sus hogares debido a la violencia, las masacres y la destrucción sistemática de más de 500 aldeas y ciudades palestinas257.
- El 15 de mayo, día siguiente a la declaración de independencia de Israel, es la fecha que los palestinos conmemoran como el inicio oficial de la Nakba41011.
Consecuencias y memoria
- La Nakba supuso el inicio de un exilio masivo y el surgimiento de la cuestión de los refugiados palestinos, un problema que persiste hasta hoy y afecta a millones de personas2511.
- La memoria de la Nakba está profundamente arraigada en la identidad colectiva palestina y se conmemora cada 15 de mayo como un día de duelo nacional, en contraste con la celebración israelí del Día de la Independencia468.
- El trauma de la Nakba no solo se recuerda como un hecho histórico, sino como un proceso continuo de desposesión, desplazamiento y resistencia, especialmente a la luz de los acontecimientos recientes en Gaza y Cisjordania73.
Hechos clave
- Más de 700.000 palestinos se convirtieron en refugiados en 194825.
- Se destruyeron o despoblaron más de 500 aldeas palestinas7.
- La Nakba es conmemorada oficialmente desde 1998, tras su proclamación por Yasir Arafat en el 50º aniversario de la creación de Israel4.
Símbolos y reivindicaciones
- Las llaves de las casas perdidas se han convertido en un símbolo de la Nakba y del derecho al retorno, que sigue siendo una de las principales demandas del pueblo palestino811.
- La Nakba es considerada por muchos palestinos y organizaciones internacionales como uno de los mayores crímenes contemporáneos contra los derechos humanos11.
“La Nakba no es solo un acontecimiento del pasado, sino una herida abierta y un proceso de desposesión que continúa marcando la vida y la identidad del pueblo palestino.”73
La memoria de la Nakba es esencial para comprender la historia, el presente y las reivindicaciones del pueblo palestino, así como la persistencia del conflicto en la región.
