Al NakbaPhiladelphia-area Mid East Peace Activists cast a Shadow of Mourning over “Israel at 60” Celebration
by
Philly Al Nakba Coalition | 05.19.2008
As supporters of how Israel was created, were celebrating down the Ben Franklin Parkway, Palestinians and solidarity activists sent a cloud of 1000 black balloons into the sky to mark the 60th anniversary of Palestinian dispossession, when the Israeli military uprooted and killed Palestine's indigenous population to make way for the Israeli state. Sixty years later this occupation and dispossession continue. Today there is growing public recognition of this reality, which Palestinians have know all along.
