Time to end apartheid of the Palestinian people

Yesterday, May 15, marked the 68th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), the ethnic cleansing of more than 750,000 Palestinians from their ancestral homes, the destruction of hundreds ofvillages in historic Palestine, massacres, and all the collective trauma inflicted to facilitate the establishment of the state of Israel.

There are now almost 8m Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons in the world, their legally enshrined right of return denied by Israel.

Thousands of Palestinians have been killed, still more imprisoned, made homeless, and subjected to this cruel, decades-long occupation.
