The Nakba Never Ended

The colonization of Palestine is a result of Zionism, a settler colonial project intent on the displacement, dispossession and destruction of native Palestinian life and land to establish a Zionist colony through ethnic cleansing and genocide. Through political and academic maneuvering, Zionism works to enact nearly a century of genocidal violence against Palestinians by claiming exclusive Jewish ‘rights’ to the land and making Native Palestinians out to be interlopers through their slogan “A land without a people for a people without a land.” As such, it’s important for us to recenter the Palestinian experience and narratives to counter Zionist propaganda that has resulted in a century of trauma and violence.
