I'm a middle eastern historian. My own family were made refugees. And this is my honest view of the Nakba (“catastrophe”) - the displacement of around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs during the 1947–49 war surrounding the creation of Israel.
A thread. 🧵
@mparkinb Agreed. And what did Devo mean when they said
“When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets away
Until they whip it”
@SFPD@SFPDAcademy Welcome - and thank you for your service. We need you so badly, and are grateful for heroes like you willing to step up to the challenge so few do. May God go with you every step of the way.
