Wake up and smell the Nakba(t)


This day is like any other. Palestine was not lost in a day. It was lost way before May 15 1948. And we are still losing it, bit by bit, massacre by massacre, every single day. Whether its settlement build-up, evictions, land confiscations or our lousy regimes, little has changed in the past few decades. Division? We were never united. Gaza? Like Deir Yassin, like Sabra like Shatila- new name for an old massacre. Refugees? Forgotten. Justice? Still elusive. The future? Call me crazy, but I'm still hopeful.
