Al-Nakba النكبة (The Catastrophe)

(to this very day living in refugee camps in surrounding Arabic states)
- 531 Palestinian villages totally destroyed (with bulldozers)
- Kufr-Qasim massacre (the biggest of all)

May 14, 1948
Foundation/proclamation of the Zionist state of Israel

With right of return only for Jews, not Palestinians
(who still have the keys to their homes, hence the
key symbol on the signs at the demonstration),
because Palestinians would outnumber them in a minute,
which would mean the end of the Zionist state of Israel.
