Join us for a life size visual display, Nakba storytelling, exhibit, and vigil honoring the Nakba in 1948 and those who have died in Gaza during the Great Return March 2018.

The slogans for the rally are:
Nakba – 70 years of exile: Palestinian Refugees have the right to return!
End Occupation – Lift the Siege!
Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel!
Oil fund out of Israel now!
Velkommen til stor Nakba-markering med appeller utenfor Stortinget (Eidsvoll plass) tirsdag 15. mai kl. 17.00.
Vi demonstrerer i anledning Nakba-dagen, i tillegg til USAs planlagte flytting av ambassaden til Jerusalem samme dag. Etter appellene utenfor Stortinget går vi i samlet flokk til den israelske ambassaden.
Parolene for markeringen er:
– Nakba – 70 år på flukt: De palestinske flyktningene har rett til retur!

Bakgrunn for markeringen:
Nakba-dagen 15. mai er en minnedag om at det nå er 70 år siden Israel ble opprettet gjennom kolonialisering, etnisk rensing og systematisk ødeleggelse av det palestinske samfunnet.
Palestinerne kaller historien om 1948 for “katastrofen” (al-Nakba). I folkeretten utgjør denne historien en forbrytelse mot menneskeheten – og forbrytelsen pågår fortsatt.

March from Keizersgracht to Parliament
Cape Town, South Africa
On the 15th we will be in the streets of Cape Town in solidarity with Palestinians and the #GreatReturnMarch with our national leg of the South African #GreatReturnMarch
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges all supporters of Palestine and the freedom of Palestinian prisoners to participate in the events and actions around the world commemorating the 70th anniversary of al-Nakba and supporting the #GreatReturnMarch in Gaza. For 70 years, Palestinians have faced ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, massacres, imprisonment and racist oppression – a continuation of the previous 30 years of British colonization. Those past 70 years have also been years of resistance, organizing and struggle for the liberation of the land and people of Palestine.
Imprisonment has always been a part of the colonial weaponry used against the Palestinian people. From the imprisonment of Palestinians by the British colonial authorities – which inspired some of the songs and poetry that still remain symbols of the Palestinian prisoners’ movement today – to the imprisonment of thousands of Palestinians and the use of forced labor camps during the Nakba, prisons and resistance to them have been a part of the Palestinian liberation struggle.
As the Nakba continued, Palestinians struggling to return were labeled “infiltrators,” killed and imprisoned by the Zionist state. Throughout 70 years of struggle, the leaders and organizers of the Palestinian people – fighters, labor organizers, teachers, poets, writers, student and women’s movement leaders, farmers, workers, fishers – have been imprisoned in their hundreds of thousands by the Zionist state and have continued their resistance. The prisons have become symbols and spaces of oppression and also places to organize resistance, educate young people and build revolutionary schools to develop the struggle.
Today, 49 Palestinians have been shot down in the Gaza Strip at the 1948 armistice line, delineating the arbitrary enclave into which Palestinian refugees were ethnically cleansed by Zionist militias, and later the Israeli army, where they have gathered as part of tens of thousands participating in the Great March of Return, demanding their right to return to their homes and lands and the breaking of the siege on Gaza. As Palestinians mark 70 years of ongoing Nakba, they will march again facing brutal live fire and repression that has severely wounded thousands.
To support the march for return on the anniversary of the Nakba, broad participation in the numerous events and actions around the world is essential. Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges supporters of Palestine around the world to mobilize on the anniversary of the Nakba to march alongside the Great March of Return and the millions of Palestinian refugees in exile and diaspora who struggle for their right to return home, the key to Palestinian liberation.
Send your events and actions to us at samidoun@samidoun.net or on Facebook to tell us about your actions in response to the Land Day Massacre and for Palestinian Prisoners’ Day.

Palestinians have been displaced from their land for over 70 years. To date, the state of Israel, which was responsible, has no clearly defined borders. It constructs illegal settlements under international law, while the Palestinians were robbed, repressed, imprisoned, tortured and murdered. Those who resist do so with the few resources at their disposal.
One of the means of this resistance is the perseverance of the Palestinians on their land, sumoud, which demands great courage and extraordinary steadfastness.
Another form of Palestinian resistance is the Great Return March, a demonstration that has been met by Israeli soldiers with live fire, killing and injuring numerous unarmed demonstrators at the Gaza fence.
On 14 My, the US embassy announced its move to Israeli-occupied Jerusalem. This is another blow to international law, violating Palestinian right to self-determination.
At the same time Israel celebrates and is celebrated in this country. Not a word of criticism of Israeli politics is uttered, the permanent disenfranchisement of the Palestinians or the provocative move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem.
Those who would like to support the Palestinians in their struggle for rights are invited to join on 14 May at 7 pm at Hermannplatz, for the freedom of all people, for equal rights. We demand compliance with international law, and the internationally recognized right of return of displaced Palestinians and demand justice for the victims of the Nakba.
منذ سبعين سنة مضت على النكبة بعد طرد الفلسطينيين من أرضهم ووطنهم وديارهم.
وحتى اليوم لم يحدد به الكيان الصهيوني حدوده بشكل نهائي.
فهو يقوم ببناء المستوطنات غير الشرعية بحسب مواثيق الأمم المتحدة.
إسرائيل تحتل، وتضطهد، وتشرد، وتقمع، وتعتقل، وتعذب، وتقتل اللاجئين الفلسطينيين الذين يقاومون بالأدوات البسيطة المتوفرة لديهم.
وإحدى أدوات المقاومة التي يمتلكها الشعب الفلسطيني هي صموده وشجاعته.
وأداة أخرى للمقاومة الفلسطينية هي مظاهرات العودة الشجاعة التي تقابل من جيش الاحتلال الصهيوني بالقمع والقتل العشوائي للمتظاهرين العزل والهجمية على حدود غزة.
وفي الرابع عشر من مايو سوف تنقل الولايات المتحدة سفارتها من تل أبيب إلى القدس، وهو يعد ضربة في صميم القانون الدولي الذي يعطي الفلسطينيين الحق في تقرير مصيرهم.
وفي نفس الوقت الذي يتم الاحتفال بقيام الكيان الصهيوني هنا في ألمانيا، وتقدم الحكومة الألمانية التهاني والتبريكات، ولا نسمع أي إنتقاد أو تحذير منها خصوصاً لنقل السفارة الأمريكية للقدس.
ومن هنا نقول لكل من يريد أن يقف إلى جانب الشعب الفلسطيني بمقاومته من أجل حقوقه المشروعة تفضلوا وشاركوا معنا في 14 مايو تمام الساعة السادسة مساءاً مساءاً على Hermannplatz لنعلن تضامننا مع الشعب الفلسطيني في قضيته العادلة المشروعة وصموده العظيم ولحرية جميع الشعوب المظلومة والمضطهدة.
نحن نطالب بتطبيق القوانين الدولية، وإتفاقيات هيئة الأمم المتحدة، الذين يتضمنان حق العودة لجميع اللاجئين الفلسطينيين، وحقهم في تقرير المصير، ونتذكر أهلنا الذين طردوا من ديارهم وأرضهم في النكبة.
Seit über 70 Jahren werden PalästinenserInnen von ihrem Grund und Boden vertrieben. Bis heute hat der Staat Israel, der dafür verantwortlich ist, keine klar definierten Grenzen. Er baut Siedlungen, die nach internationalem Recht illegal sind, beraubt, unterdrückt, inhaftiert, foltert und ermordet Diejenigen, die mit den wenigen, ihnen zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln, Widerstand leisten.
Ein Mittel dieses Widerstands ist das Ausharren der PalästinenserInnen auf ihrem Land, soumout, das großen Mut und außerordentliche Standhaftigkeit verlangt.
Eine andere Form des palästinensischen Widerstands ist der ‚Große Marsch für die Rückkehr/ Great Return March‘, eine Demonstration, die von israelischen Soldaten beantwortet wird, indem sie auf die unbewaffneten Demonstrierenden am Grenzzaun in Gaza Schüsse abfeuern, sie verstümmeln und töten.
Für den 14. Mai hat die US-amerikanische Botschaft ihren Umzug in das von Israel besetzte Jerusalem angekündigt. Das ist ein weiterer das Internationale Recht verletzender Schlag gegen das Selbstbestimmungsrecht der PalästinenserInnen.
Zur gleichen Zeit feiert sich Israel und wird auch hierzulande gefeiert. Kein Wort der Kritik an der israelischen Politik, der permanenten Entrechtung der PalästinenserInnen oder am provokativen Umzug der US-Botschaft nach Jerusalem.
Wer die PalästinenserInnen in ihrem vorbildlichen Kampf für ihre Rechte unterstützen möchte, ist herzlich eingeladen, am 14. Mai ab 19 Uhr auf dem Hermannplatz mit ihnen ein Zeichen zu setzen: für die Freiheit aller Menschen, für gleiche Rechte.
Wir fordern die Einhaltung internationalen Rechts und des von der Internationalen Gemeinschaft anerkannten Rückkehrrechts der vertriebenen PalästinenserInnen sowie deren Nachkommen und demonstrieren für Gerechtigkeit der Opfer der Nakba.
