"Free entry doc screening + Q&A exploring one of the most pivotal and heart-wrenching events in the history of Palestine, critical to understanding the current genocide in Gaza. In 1948 half of the population was violently displaced by the Israeli paramilitary and forever refused the right to return to their land. For many, the Nakba never really ended."

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 well 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.
The Nakba is remembered around the 15th May every year.
PSC campaigns to end Israel’s racism and apartheid, and for a free Palestine.
BPSC - BRISTOL PALESTINE SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN meets on the last Tuesday each month 7pm at Central Quaker Meeting House, Champion Square BS2 9DB. Find us on Facebook / Instagram. Plus signup for our regular email bulletin of local Palestine events and to hear about our other Nakba events
