Palestinians have fiercely defended their right to return to the lands and villages they were forced to leave between 1947 and 1949 as Israel was created.
This video by refugee rights group Badil, Introduction to Practicalities of Return, features interviews with refugees and experts and scenes of the lands from which Palestinians are exiled.
In the video, Eitan Bronstein of Zochrot – an Israeli group that supports the right of return for Palestinians – observes that expulsion was only one part of the Nakba – the ongoing violent dispossession of the Palestinians. The other key element has been Israel’s prevention of return.
