Mahmud Ahmad of Al-Awda
the Palestinian Right to Return Coalition
Libros Revolución welcomes Mahmud Ahmad of Al-Awda, the Palestinian Right to Return Coalition (www.al-awda.org) speaking on the right of return, and why it is so important to the Palestinian struggle. Palestinians call what happened to them beginning in 1947 the Nakba - Arabic for catastrophe. It was perpetrated by Zionist leaders looking to form the state of Israel on Palestinian land without the Palestinians. During the Nakba almost a million Palestinians (half the population at that time) were brutally forced from their land, villages and homes. When the Nakba ended, there had been at least 31 documented massacres. Some 531 villages and 11 urban neighborhoods
were emptied of their inhabitants. Come learn the truth about the right of
Palestinians to all of Palestine, including the land currently occupied by Israel
