On May 1st, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, JVP-LA is having a unique live zoom event with four young Palestinian women from the refugee camps in Lebanon. These are the descendants of Palestinians expelled by Zionist paramilitary gangs in 1948 who are still living the harsh legacy of al-Nakba (the Catastrophe). These young women represent the 3rd and 4th generations of Palestinians living as stateless refugees in Lebanon because Israel and the United States refuse to recognize their right to return to their homes in Palestine.
We’ll have the opportunity to hear their own deeply moving personal accounts of their every day lives, fraught as they are with severe discrimination in every area of public life in Lebanon, but also buoyed by the belief that one day they will return to their homeland in freedom and equality. This is an important story that Israel does not want told precisely because it will inspire people of good will everywhere to be active for justice for Palestinians.
