You need to upgrade your Flash Player

You have reached an Electronic Intifada slide show. The Electronic Intifada (EI), found at electronicIntifada.net, publishes news, commentary, analysis, and reference materials about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict from a Palestinian perspective.



In 1948 the state of Israel declared independence on the destroyed historic homeland of Palestine, an event Palestinians call the Nakba (catastrophe). During this period, the majority of the indigenous inhabitants of the land were forced to flee, and the descendants of those approximately 750,000 refugees now number in the millions.

May 2008 marked the 60th anniversary of the dispossession of Palestine. Palestinians around the world, joined by their supporters, commemorated the Nakba with large demonstrations and other actions demanding the respect of the rights of Palestinians still struggling 60 years later.

The above slideshow is a selection of images all addressing this anniversary. The month in pictures is an ongoing feature of The Electronic Intifada. If you have images documenting Palestine, Palestinian life, politics and culture, or of solidarity with Palestine, please email images and captions to photos A T electronicintifada D O T net.
