HAARETZ: Burying the Nakba: How Israel Systematically Hides Evidence of 1948 Expulsion of Arabs

Dear friends,
Due to a serious illness in my family, its been a while since I lasted posted or updated Live From Occupied Palestine.  Although I am not able to currently post as regularly as I was before, I do hope to update this site with relevant news whenever I can (so it may or not be every few weeks or so before posts). My apologies for not being able to post as regularly at the moment as regularly has I have done so before but I do intend to keep posting whenever I can, so thank you for your continued support.

Please find below an indepth article from Haaretz on how the Israeli state systematically hides evidence of expulsion of Palestinians during the Nakba, along with the war crimes and human rights abuses committed by Zionist militias, including the newly formed Israeli "Defence" Force. This is not new news as other journalists and historians have reported on this fact before. However, this article provides an indepth discussion of the issue.

in solidarity,
Kim
