Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
🇺🇸🇵🇸American actor Joaquin Phoenix on Gaza:
"There's no justification for fucking children starving, starving to death... You don't have to understand geopolitics or anything like that just to get that"
If not POTUS, his PR team is ruthlessly ingenious: flooding the world with absurdities triggers cognitive overload, and people stop seeing the real story. While we debate the spectacle (e.g. Gaza Riviera), reality moves on (Gaza is emptied, one death, one evacuation at a time).
