The Nakba Narrative is Nonsense
Since Israel's rebirth in 1948 the Palestinian "nakba" (or catastrophe) narrative has taken root, portraying well-armed Jewish immigrants overrunning peaceful Palestinian villages. Though believed by many "progressives," the nakba narrative is nonsense. Israel was not born in original sin, and the real Palestinian catastrophe is that their leaders have embraced violence and supposed victimhood while repeatedly rejecting peace plans and statehood.
