Holding Duke accountable: A call for divestment from Israeli apartheid 76 years into the ongoing Nakba
May 15, 2024, marked the 76th anniversary of the 1948 Nakba and the Palestinian people's ongoing catastrophe amid occupation, apartheid and genocide. Between 1947 and 1949, 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes and lands in a displacement known as the Nakba, or "catastrophe" in Arabic. Every year on May 15, Palestinians commemorate Nakba Day around the world in remembrance of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and the near-total destruction of Palestinian society.
