Tens of thousands of PA (Palestinian Authority) residents marked Nakba Day on Tuesday, beginning with the sounding of a siren for one minutes throughout PA autonomous areas. The PA events followed a Nakba Day event the previous evening in Tel Aviv University.
The main event was held in Ramallah’s Yasser Arafat Square, attended by PA leaders. MK Talab al-Sana said “denial of the Nakba is no less serious than the Nakba itself”, with the “Nakba” being the creation of the State of Israel. The Arab elected official continued, explaining “The Nakba is no less severe than the destruction of the First and Second Beis HaMikdosh for the Jewish People”.
Another Arab MK, Dr. Ahmed Tibi added his view, stating “The Palestinian people underwent “ethnic cleansing in 1948”.
And a third Arab MK, Jamal Zahalka added “We will never forget and never forgive”, borrowing the slogan of the expellees from Gush Katif following the 2005 expulsion of Jews from those communities.

CHUTZPAH! They started the war! they attacked us! colossal chutzpah!
Churban HaBayis?!?!
What is this yishmaeli talking about?
I thought THEY claim there wasn’t any Bayis, that we don’t have any historical claims to Har HaBayis, or to Yerushalayim in general.
This shakran needs to keep his story straight!
Like the saying goes…
Oh the tangled web we weave,
when once we practice to deceive.
Quite dramatic.
Wonder if Arab MKs are aware of the pre and post 1948 history.
The difference is that on tisha bav we sit in mourning not throw stones at our “oppressors”
This shakran needs to keep his story straight!
They never do. Don’t you remember a few weeks ago when a Hamas minister admitted on TV that most “Palestinians” come from Egypt or Yemen?
Google ‘Udi Ohana’ for his very informative ‘conceptwizard’ Jewish history slideshows online. These shows display exactly what the Arabs did and how false their claims are.
