75 Years of Nakba: An Informative Session on the Palestinian Struggle
2023-05-07 14:00 - 15:30 | First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, 30 Cleary Ave, Ottawa, Ontario, K2A 3Z9, Canada
This year marks 75 years since the Nakba, which saw over 500 Palestinian villages destroyed and depopulated, and up to 1 million Palestinians forcibly expelled from their homes. The Palestinian Youth Movement acknowledges that 75 years after the Nakba began, it is still ongoing, and so too is Palestinian resistance.
To inform our community and allies of what the Nakba is, how it is ongoing, and why we support efforts to resist it, the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa have invited us and our comrades from Independent Jewish Voices to conduct a panel discussion followed by a Q&A session on these pressing issues.
Join us at the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa (30 Cleary Ave) on Sunday, May 7 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Please use back entrance to access venue.

Nakba 75 Commemoration at Vancouver Art Gallery
2023-05-14 13:00 | Vancouver Art Gallery, 750 Hornby St, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 2H7, Canada
We call on all friends of the Palestinian cause to join us on MAY 14 AT THE VANCOUVER ART GALLERY to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Nakba.
May 15 of this year will mark 75 years of zionist occupation in Palestine, the ongoing catastrophe that has seen the expansion of colonial settlements and military occupation across our lands, and the consequent displacement, forced exile, and mass murder of our people at the hands of the illegitimate zionist state. Though the Nakba is ongoing, so is our people’s resistance, which is stronger and more unified today than it has ever been before.
Wear your keffiyehs and bring your flags to the Nakba 75 rally MAY 14 as we call for the full liberation of Palestine without compromise or capitulation, and as we reject attempts by the city of Vancouver to force us into silence.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

En 1948, il y a 75 ans, le peuple de Palestine est dépossdé de sa terre, victime d’une épuration ethnique orchestrée par les milices sionistes puis par l’armée de l’État d’Israël, nouvellement créé.

480 villages seront rasés, 750,000 personnes seront déplacées. Elles se réfugieront en Cisjordanie, dans la bande de Gaza et dans les pays arabes voisins.

Les Palestiennes et les Palestiniens nomment cet exode la Nakba, un terme en arabe qui peut se traduire par “catastrophe”.

TPFF 2023 Nakba Commemoration: "Recovery" Film Screening
2023-05-15 18:00 | Innis Town Hall Theatre, 2 Sussex Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 1J5, Canada
TPFF will mark the 75th year of the ongoing Nakba with a free screening of the documentary film Recovery directed by Rashid Masharawi.
Rashid Masharawi takes us on a special journey across the Palestinian port city of Jaffa, where his father was forced to leave in the 1948 exodus. Life in this jewel of the Mediterranean is brought to life by the inventive use of photographs, oral testimony and rich sound design in this simple and beautiful documentary. Viewers are taken on an absorbing stroll through the streets of Jaffa as remembered by Taher Al-Qalyubi, who captured his memories of his beloved city on VHS tape. Although, Taher died six month before Masharawi “met” him, there is a deep connection to this man who shares the same history has his father and grandfather.
Through his narration, Marshawi’s memories of the city brings to life the waves on Jaffa’s shore, the sounds of its streets, and the sweetness of its inhabitants and its spirit. Recovery is a splendid cinematic experience that attempts to bridge the border between time and space on a tour of stories and photos of Jaffa from 1930 to 1948.
This event is in partnership with The University of Toronto’s Hearing Palestine, Cinema Studies, Urban Studies, and Centre for the Study of the United States.
