Nakba-60

Al-Nakba is an event roughly translated as "The Disaster" and refers, for Palestinians, to the UN decision of 1948 to partition Palestine into two territorries, one for Jews and one for Arabs. Nakba-60 was a protest held in San Francisco's Civic Center remembering the 60th anniversary of this event.

A shame that no one from the Anti-Israel crowd was interviewed.

[hrhlolita]

I didn't realize there was anyone anti-Israel there. I don't think I would want to interview them if they were. I'm not out to promote negativity or anti-anything.

There is no such a thing as Palestinian people hood, this is a total hoax. They are ARABS and state so themselves in there charter, we are integral part of the Arab nation, so why the distortion. They do not exist even as we speak! That is why they never came to being despite all the opportunities Israel and the world lent to them. They rejected it in the 1936 Peel Commission, In the 181 UN resolution of 1947, and again in 2000...So this conflict will not end until the truth would be spoken.

@Rockthrower100 as rachterry so posted Foaud Ajami so eloquently said:

Fouad Ajami wrote that "What Arabs had said about themselves, the history they had written, and the truths they had transmitted to their progeny had led down a blind alley"

The Al-Nakba is the funniest thing ever made up. The Palestinians created their own so-called "disaster."

I showed up at the Nakba 60 concert with my big Handala with the message "Why can't we be friends? A security guard asked me to leave. I asked him why- he said he didn't like my message,and then added "And there is a thousand of us and only one of you".

It was not a pro-peace crowd. There was no talk of peace or of compromise- in all the time I lasted at the concert I heard no words of reconciliation.

[rachterry]

It is not called ethnic cleansing but terrorists cleansing and rightfully so.

Fouad Ajami's quote below applies to the BBC reporter, Jeremey Bowen et al as well:

Fouad Ajami wrote that "What Arabs had said about themselves, the history they had written, and the truths they had transmitted to their progeny had led down a blind alley"
