Thousands of Palestinians of the 1948 occupied land participated in the 7th return march to villages and towns from which Palestinians were expelled at gunpoint by Zionist gangs in 1948.
Participants hoisted Palestinian flags and names of villages and towns that were destroyed by the Zionist gangs after their occupation of Palestine in 1948.
The marchers headed to Lubya village, Tiberias province, afternoon Tuesday at the invitation of the society for the defense of Palestinians forced out of their hometowns under the slogan “Their Independence, Our Nakba”.
Head of the society Wakim Wakim, a lawyer, said that the demonstrators were protesting not only the past history but also the current Israeli systematic policy of “forced emigration of our people in the Negev, Akka, and other areas.”
He said that the demonstrators were also protesting the Israeli policy of demolishing Palestinian homes and Israel’s disregard to what its hooligans are doing against Islamic and Christian sanctities.
