via the
Institute for Middle East Understanding: According to ISRAELI
historians, in 1948 alone, 472 Palestinian towns and villages were
destroyed by the newly proclaimed state of Israel. Palestinian
churches, mosques, schools, cemeteries, farm, and homes were leveled.
Responding to Google's "Independence Day" doodl
e
on Google Israel, Palestinians drew up their own alternative
highlighting the Nakba (catastrophe) of 1948 when Palestinians were
ethnically cleansed to pave way for a state of Israel. 48 is the year
of the Palestinian Nakba, or catastrophe. The key is symbolic of the
homes Palestinians fled in '48 to which they are not allowed to return.
