Al-Nakba Debate

******************************
The historic struggle for Palestine is characterized by the claims and counter-claims of Arabs and Jews, but one factor that is often overlooked behind the Palestinian ‘Nakba’ or ‘catastrophe’ of 1948, is the part played by an old imperial power, Britain. The history is written by the victors, who are the rewriters of history as new information, new documents, and new historians, come to light. It is time to examine how history itself is the battleground for the hearts and minds of new generations today.
