Tens of thousands of PA (Palestinian Authority) residents marked Nakba Day on Tuesday,?beginning with the sounding of a siren for one minutes throughout PA autonomous areas. The PA events followed a Nakba Day event the previous evening in Tel Aviv University.
The main event was held in Ramallah?s Yasser Arafat Square, attended by PA leaders. MK Talab al-Sana said ?denial of the Nakba is no less serious than the Nakba itself?, with the ?Nakba? being the creation of the State of Israel. The Arab elected official continued, explaining ?The Nakba is no less severe than the destruction of the First and Second Beis HaMikdosh for the Jewish People?.
Another Arab MK, Dr. Ahmed Tibi added his view, stating ?The Palestinian people underwent ?ethnic cleansing in 1948?.
And a third Arab MK, Jamal Zahalka added ?We will never forget and never forgive?, borrowing the slogan of the expellees from Gush Katif following the 2005 expulsion of Jews from those communities.
