<p><strong>The 70th anniversary of the Nakba was marked
with a massacre in Gaza on Monday, 14 May. Israeli
occupation forces shot 43 Palestinians dead as they
marched for their Return, their right denied for over
70 years of Nakba, colonization and displacement.
Thousands of Palestinians continued the ongoing legacy
of 70 years of resistance as the Great Return March
continued in Gaza today.</strong></p>
<p>The Zionist military forces exemplified the violence of
70 years of Nakba today, killing 43 and wounding over
1,600 Palestinians as they marched to the colonial fence
at the 1948 armistice line, delineating the arbitrary
enclave into which Palestinian refugees were ethnically
cleansed by Zionist militias, and later the Israeli
army.</p>
<p>Simultaneously, the U.S. imperialist role in Palestine
was also highlighted as the U.S. embassy officially
moved to occupied Jerusalem in an attempt to declare the
occupied city the capital of the Israeli occupation
state. U.S. officials and Ivanka Trump celebrated
colonialism in Jerusalem while occupation forces
committed a massacre in Gaza. Meanwhile, European powers
remained largely silent and actively complicit,
repressing Palestinian and solidarity organizing
internally as they greet the Israeli state,
congratulating it on 70 years of ongoing Nakba.</p>
<p>The Palestinian people have never stopped resisting –
not through 30 years of British colonialism and not
through 70 years of Nakba. The Great Return March
continues tomorrow despite the bloodshed of the
occupier. The martyrs whose lives were stolen today by
colonial armies live on in the struggle of millions of
Palestinians to make the slogan and the dream of return
a reality on the ground, with the bravery and commitment
of the Palestinian popular classes on the front lines.
Many of them children and youth, these Palestinians were
shot down because they marched for their inalienable
right to return to, and liberate, Bir Saba, Haifa, Yafa,
Safad, al-Majdal, Bisan, all of the over 400 destroyed
villages of the Nakba.</p>
<p><strong>Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity
Network urges all supporters of Palestine and the
Palestinian people to take to the streets. Silence is
unacceptable in the face of massacres, colonization
and complicity. The Palestinians whose lives were
taken today and the thousands more wounded must be
honored with struggle and commitment to the liberation
of all of Palestine and its people, from the river to
the sea, the dismantling of Zionist colonialism, and
the return of the Palestinian refugees.</strong></p>
<p>Remember them and honor their names, their sacrifice
and their struggle for return and liberation. They are
immortal to all of our global movements for justice:</p>
