66th anniversary of Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe)

In May 1948 more than 780,000 Palestinians (over half of the population) were ethnically cleansed from their homeland, and more than 500 Palestinian villages were depopulated and destroyed. Attacks on Palestinians continue to this day see here and here. There will be a vigil in Melbourne on 16 May to mark the Palestinian Nakba.
