| | Al-Ahram Weekly Special Searching for meaning |
 | | When the nakba struck -- that is, when the Jewish Yishov leaders declared the independence of Israel and Israeli forces occupied portions of land that had been allocated to Palestine under the partition resolution -- the Palestinians had no power to resist, their strength having been sapped in the Intifada of 1936-1939. | | | The memory of the nakba will not succeed in creating democratic institutions in the Arab world or in realising Arab unity, not so long as it is shaped by ideology, which is shaped by various interests, tailored by regimes, regurgitated in schoolbooks and reproduced in the desired form. | | | Recognition of the nakba, which is to say recognition of the historic injury that was visited upon the Palestinian people in 1948, is a prerequisite in the search for realising relative justice for this people (relative to what befell them in 1948). |

| | Throughout the Arab world, the word is used to refer to the devastation of Palestinian society and the dispossession of the Palestinian people resulting from the ethnic cleansing conducted by Zionist forces during 1947-48. | | | "Nakba" means "catastrophe" in Arabic ("al-nakba" means "the catastrophe"). | | | This is a time to learn about the history of Palestine and of Palestinians, and to remember the tragedy inflicted on the Palestinian people in 1947-48, which has yet to be rectified. |
