1943 N. University Dr. 1943 N. University Dr., Coral Springs

  Al-Awda, Florida Presents Commemorating Al-Nakba May 30, 2022 — 2:00pm 1943 N. University Dr. Coral Springs, FL, 33071 904-806-9141 These Palestinians have different experiences than other Palestinians, even as they share a common struggle and identity. 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. Please join us to hear from Hanin, Hiba, Samar and Ruba, who will speak about their lives as stateless Palestinians in Lebanon.  

Online Event: Live from Lebanon — Hear the Stories of Palestinian Refugee Women

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.
