The Metropolitan Police, which deployed over 4,000 officers to police the marches in what it described as an "unprecedented" public order operation, announced that it had made 31 arrests in relation to the protests by 4.30pm. It did not specify which protest those arrested had attended.

The #NakbaDay march is an annual demonstration organised by a coalition of groups, including the #PalestineSolidarityCampaign, commemorating the expulsion of more than 750,000 #Palestinians from their land and the killing of over 13,000 others by #Zionist militias to make way for the creation of #Israel in 1948.

🗨️ Last night alone, I counted more than fifty attacks - from air (drones), sea, and via artillery fire - ISR troops have advanced at four strategic points from north to south: #GazaCity, #DeiralBalah, #KhanYounis, and #Rafah; it can be assumed that this is accompanied by increased #resistance from Palestinian #gaza forces -- Israel's aim was also to counter protests on #NakbaDay

Seattle Palestine Action Network on Instagram: "Via Autonomous Organizers: Join the community at Denny Park at 6:30 PM on May 15th for a Nakba Day Vigil. Please bring candles, art for a rememberance march. We will be building community consciousness and solidarity as we continue to fight for an end to the Zionist Entity's genocide in Gaza and a Free Palestine. We'll also come together to learn about the Nakba from the stories of local community members, learn the history of the more than 531 Palestinian villages that were destroyed, and learn about Seattle's normalization and legitimization of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, and Zionist settler colonial project. As we build our movement for the next stage of struggle, we'll learn together, build connections, and take action together. We will strive to stay on time and keep the event to 2 hours. Keep an eye out for more details on the vigil, art builds, and community supported carpools."

The #BDS movement marks 78 years of dispossession, theft and genocide by #Israel. https://bdsmovement.net/news/Nakba78-We-Shall-Never-Forget #NakbaDay #Palestine
Nakba 78: We shall never forget. With sumud, resilience, resistance and solidarity, we shall return.

Sustained, escalated, and principled BDS pressure is central to ending the Nakba and achieving the justice that Indigenous people of Palestine have been denied for 78 years.
