On this day, 15 May 1998, Palestinians marked the Nakba or Catastrophe for the first time in an organised way commemorating the end of the 1948 war and a day after the declaration of Israeli independence. The war saw 700,000 Palestinians expelled and hundreds of villages destroyed and marked the end of the British Mandate in the region.

Find them wherever you get your podcasts or on our website: https://workingclasshistory.com/2018/12/16/e17-anti-zionism-in-israel-part-1/
