"Weekly Briefing: After 78 years, the Palestinian Nakba continues
May 15 is Nakba Day and, this year, the 78th anniversary of the dispossession that created the Palestinian refugee crisis and established the political conditions that define the region to this day. It is clearer than ever before that there is no separating 1948 from the present. The Nakba is a colonial enterprise that continues, not an event of the past. This week’s reporting at Mondoweiss reflects that continuity.
Najib Antoine Jabre’s piece, published today, covers a dimension of the Nakba that rarely receives attention. When Palestinians were expelled in 1948, they not only lost their homes and land. They lost access to bank accounts, business assets, and accumulated savings. This financial wealth was absorbed by the Israeli state and never returned. Jabre estimates the total value of that stolen property at over $100 billion."
