The link above is a 10 minute video about testimonies of Palestinian womens who were displaced and expelled from their lands and houses 63 years ago. Today, May 15th, marks the 63 years of the Palestinian greatest catastrophe, one of the oldest and biggest refugee problem in recent history. 63 years ago, there were 1.4 million Palestinian living in the land of Palestine, in May 15th 1948, 84% were annexed by force and move out to neighboring countries. More than 70 massacres took place by the Zionist groups as the Haganah. More than 15,000 Palestinians were killed. More than 517 Palestinian villages were ethnically cleansed. More than 840,000 Palestinians became refugees outside their lands.

Isn't it time for the international community and humanity to wake up? If 63 years of destruction, apartheid, uprooting, ethnic cleansing, occupation, denial of freedom, justice and equality are not enough, when is it then?
