Its simple, the refugees must go home.

This video was inspired by socially active and politically aware students at the University of Western Ontario who were especially interested in Palestinian refugee situation created on Nakba.

Sixty-three years ago on the Day of Nakba-also known as the Day of Catastrophe-hundreds and thousands of Palestinians were forced from their homes and displaced.

To this very day they hold the keys to their homes in high hopes of one day returning.

Right of Return-(UN RESOLUTION 194)- should allow them to go home. But for whatever reasons Israel believes Palestinians returning to their own homes will conflict with the Jewish State-hence no Palestinians are welcomed back.

Despite your political views on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, such students as those featured in this video felt the need to advocate on behalf of the voiceless, and faceless who are often ignored from the political jargon-in the name of "dialogue".

Please listen to the stories. Please determine justice.

Nakba May 15.

1) Today when Arab-Canadians discuss the "oppressor", they really should be talking about the murderous regimes of Libya/Iran/Bahrain/Egypt/Syria­/S.Arabia

2) Occupied since 1948?? Israel only expanded in 1948 past its UN mandate after it was invaded by ARAB armies. EVEN THE PLO does not consider the occupation to have begun in 1948, just 1967!! You guys are surprisingly extreme...

3) Israel itself took in ~750k mideast-jewish refugees. THEY were not imprisoned in camps, but integrated!!

@unionation Only the weak say 1967, the truth is the truth.

British ? you mean that powerful colonist power? its a colonist power, its not theirs to give in a British mandate

You just said "expanded" and you call us extremist, no normal country expands on the suffering of others, we are humans not animals

and plus, nowhere in this video said that israel shouldnt exist, all it said is the the REFUGEES MUST GO HOME

FREE PALESTINE

@92kartelzbak We dont call for wars or to destroy entity, we just call for the right of return.

[thefatherofwilliam]

@h78meiri blame it on the jew, blame it on the arab, blame it on who ever you want. dont complicate things, because the blame game will get you no where, the bottom line is that the REFUGEES MUST RETURN.

think humane

Can't wait to get involved with SPHR next year! This is a wonderful cause. And no, it's not a "jew" thing. Many jews don't support Isreal. And many that do don't know the real issue, they just support it because we're taught to think that zionism and judaism are mutualy exclusive. Not true at all!

[rachelgolem]

Do the Jews have to move back to Europe????

@unionation you belong in the jungle, where the strong eats the weak you animal

@UfairWtradeO

Yes the truth is definitely the truth. And the truth is the Arabs invaded Israel in 48 immediately after it declared independence (and then, lost big time)

Why did the Arabs invade in 48, 67, 73? *Not* to expand? Give me a break

1: they are not "refugees" anymore, the Arabs should have integrated them, as would any normal society

2: if they do come to Israel and form a majority Israel becomes Palestine, and inevitably a backwards shit-hole like we see in every Arab state today

UWO is getting weird man.
