    The Nakba and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine

    “The legal recognition of the 1948 Nakbah as an act of ethnic cleansing would pave the way for some form of restitutive justice.”

    To commemorate Nakba Day, we present an excerpt from Ilan Pappe’s book Ten Myths About Israel. Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the Occupation, the radical Israeli historian examines the most contested ideas concerning the origins and identity of the contemporary state of Israel, including the myth that the Palestinians voluntarily left their homeland in 1948.

    Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish was one of the greatest writers of the past half-century. In this extract from his long poem Mural, Darwish draws on themes of loss and longing for this beautiful meditation on exile.
