In 1948, the seven Arab armies invaded the newly declared state of Israel with explicit intent to destroy it.

Why? Not because it was their land – it wasn't. There was never a state of Palestine.

Not because it prevented them from having a state – they were offered one in the UN Partition Plan and refused

Not because they were endangered – in fact, it was Arab leaders who told them to flee not Jews – and the Arabs too stayed got full citizenship.

No, the real reason they launched a war is because they refused to accept that Jews came home to the land of Israel – in ANY borders.

The "Nakba" which means catastrophe in Arabic, doesn't mourn the handful of Arab families who were adversely affected – it mourns the FAILURE of Arabs to commit a genocide against Jews.

So yes, Nakba commemoration is literally embracing Jew-hatred and inciting lies based on historical falsehoods that contribute to conflict today

And that's the real travesty – instead of moving forward and building a better future, so-called Palestine "activists" are obsessed with the past – a past they are flat-out lying about in many cases.
