The Nakba
During 1947 and 1948, Israel systematically demolished 531 Palestinian villages inside the area that became Israel. More than 200 of these villages were destroyed, and between 250,000 and 350,000 people were displaced before May 1948 when the first Arab-Israeli war officially began.

Decades ago, a young Palestinian girl in Jerusalem posed in front of her home which was later stolen by Jewish Zionist invaders when "Israel" was created. 70 years later, the young girl is an old lady outside the home stolen from her family...  If you think this is unfair, then don't judge Palestinians for wanting their homeland back.
