The following good explanation of what we mean by "Nakba Day" was posted by a friend on Facebook:
May 15, Nakba Day (Arabic: ذكرى النكبة, romanized: Dhikra an-Nakba, lit. 'Memory of the Catastrophe') is the day of commemoration for the Nakba, also known as the Palestinian Catastrophe, which comprised the destruction of Palestinian society and homeland in 1948, and the permanent displacement of a majority of the Palestinian people by Israeli militias. End the Occupation ! Support the Right of Return ! Equal Rights for Israeli Palestinians!
