Palestine Embassy In Zimbabwe commemorates 75 years of Israeli injustices

By Staff Writer

THE Palestine Embassy in Zimbabwe will this commemorate the 75 years long journey they have travelled  fighting Israeli injustices and traumatic loss of lives as well as their land.

The commemorations widely known as The Nakba is an injustice that in 1948 witnessed the traumatic loss of their homeland and which tragically continues to this day inflicting untold misery and indignities on an entire nation;

“The Nakba is the deprivation of the Palestinian people of the rights to return, self-determination and independence; assaulting their physical presence and their national, social and cultural tapestry; and distorting their history, renaming geography, and manipulating demography

“The Nakba is a continuum of injustice, compounded by a blatant settler colonial regime that employs racist, discriminatory laws aimed at the theft of the land, subjugation of the indigenous people, and normalization of the intended permanence of their oppression,” Palestinian authorities said in an update

While marking this somber occasion is a painful endeavor, it is also an opportunity to recognize the resilience of the Palestinian people;

Palestinians have persevered across generations and defied the odds while at the same time continuing to positively engage the world and contribute to human advancement in all fields;

They continue to defend their unassailable right to life, freedom, self-determination, return, and reparations;

“Palestinians are undeterred by the brutality meted against them by the Israeli colonizers and by the failure of the international community to do right by them and help them to bring an end to this ongoing catastrophe;

“Palestine will continue to endeavor to establish worldwide recognition of the crime of the Nakba and to seek long overdue justice,” said the update.

Palestinian authorities said justice requires accountability for war crimes, human right abuses and others violations of international law committed against the Palestinian people by a regime of colonization and apartheid that continues the drive of ethnic cleansing and erasure that began 75 years ago.
