SUMMARY:Online Event: Live from Lebanon — Hear the Stories of Palestinian Refugee Women
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegister for the event here: bit.ly/JVPLA-NakbaTour \nFor more information on the young speakers\, visit: www.nakbatour.com \nOn 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. \nWe’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. \nRegister for the event here: bit.ly/JVPLA-NakbaTour \nFor more information on the young speakers\, visit: www.nakbatour.com \nPlease join us and our co-sponsors for this event:\nJVP – Central Ohio\nJVP – Cleveland\nJVP – Hudson Valley\nJVP – Northern New Jersey\nJVP – Portland\nJVP – Rogue Valley\nJVP – San Diego\nJVP – Tucson\n&\nAl-Awda: The Palestine Right to Return Coalition\nAmerican Muslims for Palestine\, SoCal\nJews for Palestinian Right of Return\nLA4Palestine\nPeople for Palestinian-Israeli Justice\nUnited Church of Christ Palestine/Israel Network

SUMMARY:Chattanooga: The Exiled Palestinians - Stateless Palestinians from the Camps in Lebanon
DESCRIPTION:Khawla Hammad has been a stateless refugee in Lebanon for 69 years. At the age of sixteen\, she was expelled from her village of Kabri\, in Palestine. Now she is 84 years old\, and and still a refugee in Lebanon\, with no citizenship in any country at all. Israel expelled most of the population in 1948\, and has prevented them from returning to their homes. Kabri and hundreds of other towns and villages were levelled to the ground\, a crime that Palestinians call al-Nakba (the Catastrophe). \nBut Israel did not stop there. It repeatedly attacked Palestinian refugees in Lebanon\, killing three of Khawla’s children among many others. Before the Nakba\, Khawla’s father also lost his life as a Palestinian freedom fighter. Khawla has a message that she wants to bring to North America. So does 23-year-old Palestinian refugee\, journalist and translator Amena Elashkar\, whom many of you know from the 2016 Nakba Tour. She and her parents were born as stateless refugees in Lebanon and have never lived in their own country. \nKhawla and Amena have a different message from other Palestinians. They are not living under Israeli occupation. Israel does not allow them to visit their homes\, much less live there. As exiles\, they have a different perspective from Palestinians in Jerusalem\, the West Bank\, Gaza and the part of Palestine that became Israel. \nCome hear Khawla and Amena speak!

Kabri and hundreds of other towns and villages were levelled to the ground\, a crime that Palestinians call al-Nakba (the Catastrophe). \nBut Israel did not stop there. It repeatedly attacked Palestinian refugees in Lebanon\, killing three of Khawla’s children among many others. Before the Nakba\, Khawla’s father also lost his life as a Palestinian freedom fighter. Khawla has a message that she wants to bring to North America. So does 23-year-old Palestinian refugee\, journalist and translator Amena Elashkar\, whom many of you know from the 2016 Nakba Tour. She and her parents were born as stateless refugees in Lebanon and have never lived in their own country. \nKhawla and Amena have a different message from other Palestinians. They are not living under Israeli occupation. Israel does not allow them to visit their homes\, much less live there. As exiles\, they have a different perspective from Palestinians in Jerusalem\, the West Bank\, Gaza and the part of Palestine that became Israel. \nCome hear Khawla and Amena speak! \nPlease RSVP to Fahed Abu-Akel\, 404-441-2702 or fabuakel@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Asheville: The Exiled Palestinians: Stateless Palestinians from the Camps in Lebanon
DESCRIPTION:Khawla Hammad has been a stateless refugee in Lebanon for 69 years. At the age of sixteen\, she was expelled from her village of Kabri\, in Palestine. Now she is 84 years old\, and and still a refugee in Lebanon\, with no citizenship in any country at all.

It repeatedly attacked Palestinian refugees in Lebanon\, killing three of Khawla’s children among many others. Before the Nakba\, Khawla’s father also lost his life as a Palestinian freedom fighter.
