Solidarity protests in 75+ U.S. cities demand justice for Palestine | Al-Nakba







May 15 marks the 73rd anniversary of what is billed in the U.S. and Israeli mainstream media as Israel’s “independence,” and what the Palestinian and Arab peoples as a whole know as al-Nakba—the Catastrophe. To make way for the creation of the Israeli apartheid state, more than half of the Palestinian population was driven out of their homeland by means of terror.



Washington played an irreplaceable role in the formation of Israel. The U.S. government continues to provide billions of dollars annually and vast supplies of modern weaponry to perpetuate Israel’s continued role as a key instrument in U.S. domination of the strategic Middle East region. The Biden administration must end all U.S. aid to Israel. 



As Israel continues its historic campaign of genocide and displacement of the Palestinian people, many solidarity demonstrations are taking place or are planned in the U.S. The ANSWER Coalition, which has supported the Palestinian people’s heroic struggle for self-determination and the right of return since its founding two decades ago, calls upon all people who stand for justice and liberation to join the protests taking place across the country.
