May 15, marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic), the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948. This year’s commemoration comes amid the shadow of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, record settlement development in the West Bank, and the expansion of its military attacks into Lebanon and Iran, deepening a crisis that continues to devastate Palestinian and regional communities. The Nakba is not only a historical event, but an ongoing reality of displacement, dispossession, siege, and violence that persists across generations.
