    It's the Palestinians' Trail of Tears.  Like the Cherokees who were made to leave their home in Tennessee and walk through the winter, leaving the dead where they fell.

    Thank you for posting these moving and beautiful pictures.

    You're welcome ann. Believe it or not but some zionist "lady" on Mondoweis is refusing to believe are from the Nakba. They "could be taken anywhere in the M.E in the 50s".
    This state of denial hard to fathom..Looks like they can't handle the truth about they've done.

    Here:

    "I also checked your pictures of the “Nakba”. It seems to me that they are pictures of everyday life anywhere in the Middle East in the 50’s.
    And you complain about Hasbara! You guys are the expert in lying. I could go on and expound at length about the relationship some cultures have with the TRUTH but I am not racist like you.

    Today I received this message from a Palestinian woman called Dona:

    It was 62 year ago. To my people it’s a memory so fresh it could have been just yesterday, but to the world it’s as if it was a thousand years ago. 62 years ago my people existed; they had a country and a land and homes, they were on the map. 62 years ago my people were massacred and terrorized. 62 years ago they lost their right to exist; they lost their land and homes and their place on the map. It has just been 62 years since Israel was established on my land. In 62 short years Israel managed to entrench itself into the roots of the world. In 62 years the world managed to forget that my people were mass-murdered and exiled from their land by terror to establish a country for the victims of terror, of the holocaust, the victims of the Nazis. Israel may get its world sympathy with crocodile tears and anti-Semitism allegations for anyone who dares take a look at its crimes, its free-pass for being victims of terrorism, by claiming its right to exist, a right to have a country where Jews can live in freedom and peace. But my people will never forget that they were eradicated from that land, their land, just 62 years ago. David Ben Gurion, Israel's first prime minister said "the old will die and the young will forget". He was wrong, a hundred years could pass and my people will still be fighting. They will continue to teach their history to their children and children’s children till they return home. Our kids will still be standing up bravely to a tank with a stone. My people will continue to irrigate the soil of our land with their blood till our country is free. The keys of the homes my people where annihilate from to house new inhabitants will be passed down from generation to generation till they can be used once again to unlock a long lost life in the one place they can ever call home.
    This is an article by Dina Elmuti, a grandchild to the people annihaled from Deir Yaseen, a Palestinian village where a large massacre took place a little over 62 years ago to establish the country where Jews can finally live without fear, “Israel”.

    Heartbreaking pictures...the little baby in the box held by the  boy who looks old beyond his years...the elderly and the children.

    Those pictures say more about their tragedy than thousands of words. Many of those pictures are totally unknown to the public. I wanted to make this  post as a reference for documentation.

    It's ironic. These photos somehow bear quite a resemblance to those of the jewish holocaust .
    Nakaba ..Never forget.

    You can't say that, VAA. The Holocaust is a registered trade mark.
