This year marks 74 years of Al-Nakba, or the Palestinian experience of dispossession and loss of their homeland.

Anniversary comes at a time when many are angered by the killing of Al Jazeera veteran journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.

At least 200 Palestinians were killed by Zionist gangs in the village of Tantura, which was razed in 1948.

Israeli court’s delay of ruling on forced expulsion of Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah is momentary win.

While the Zionist project fulfilled its dream of a homeland in Palestine, Palestinian displacement has never stopped.

For the 72nd Nakba anniversary, Palestinians took to social media and digital initiatives to commemorate the day.
