Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Israel, Palestine, History, International Relations, War & Conflict

Arab-American joint blog KABOBfest [1] marks the 61st anniversary of the creation of Israel, commonly referred to as Al Nakba (catastrophe), saying: “Israel's foundation meant the dispossession of hundreds of thousands of
refugees. This created the largest, long-term refugee population in the world. But, they should not mourn Israel's creation. They should celebrate what a failure it has been.”
