Great Return March and #Nakba70 - Palestinian Non-Violence Requires Global Non-Silence

[s28]

This week will see culmination of the Palestinian's peaceful protest in support of their Internationally recognised 'Right of Return' to the land that they were ethnically cleansed from in 1948

That catastrophe is known as the 'Nakba' (the catastrophe) and this year on May 15th is the 70th anniversary of that event. They have been living in refugee camps for generations. It's time the World woke up and made it right for Palestine. You can do your bit by participating in online 'clicktivism' or signing petitions etc. Unfortunately the only defence Palestinians have against the bullets and gas of the Israeli military is international indignation
