Nakba booklet for free download today

While I disagree with some of the material contained in the Nakba booklet, it is worth downloading or buying.

One problematic passage states:

Palestinians claim descent from the Kena`anu, or Canaanites, a loose collection of peoples who lived in the region as long ago as 3000 BCE, founding the cities of Jericho and Jerusalem, among others.

Palestinians are for the most part the descendants of the inhabitants of the various Judean kingdoms, ethnarchies, and tetrarchies of the Greco-Roman period. In contrast, ethnic Ashkenazim, who are almost entirely the descendants of Southern Russian and Eastern European populations have no ancestral connection to the Land of Israel, Judea, or Palestine in any way shape or form.

Another problematic passage states:

International law also forbids occupying powers from launching armed reprisals against the occupied population. While the right of self-defense is universally supported, Israel’s military violently maintains an illegal occupation, consistently attacks civilians, and participates in acts intended to destroy the means of living for Palestinians.

The booklet is not describing International law but is referencing International Jewish shyster law.

Nuremberg law, which is a key component of International law, is quite explicit that a state, which is like Israel engaging in the type of aggressive war, dispossession, colonization, and occupation, does not have a right of self-defense.

“Al Nakba” (Arabic for “the catastrophe”) refers to the events of 1948, when two-thirds of the Palestinian population were forcibly displaced from their homes. The attempt to drive the Palestinian people off their land did not end in 1948. This 40-page booklet is a concise description and history of invasion, displacement, and mass imprisonment that have continued to the present day, blocking all efforts towards justice, equal rights and peace.

'Nakba – The Ongoing Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine' provides the necessary context for understanding today’s events:
> Palestine & Palestinians
> Zionism
> The British Mandate and the Partition of Palestine
> Ethnic Cleansing, 1947-49
> Refugees
> The 1967 War
> Occupation
> Settlements, Checkpoints, and the Wall
> Jerusalem
> The “Peace Process”
> Palestinian Resistance
> The Right of Return
> International Solidarity / Activist Guide
> Calendar of Palestinian History
