The PSC stated the march was planned to “mark the 77th anniversary of the 1948 Nakba and require our federal government do something about it to end the continuous ethnic cleaning of Palestinians from their land”.
The Nakba, which indicates “disaster” in Arabic, is the name Palestinians offer to the violent displacement of an approximated 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and towns throughout the battling surrounding the development of the contemporary state of Israel in 1948, which led to the irreversible displacement of majority the Palestinian population, according to the UN.
