The somber anniversary highlighted the consequences of the 1948 conflict while unfolding within the shadow of contemporary conflicts [3].

Amid the new explosion of violence between Israel and Hamas, Palestinians marked the 76th Nakba Day, emphasizing their enduring struggle in the face of displacement and conflict [4].

This is a colonial continuum,” says Takriti. “It’s not enough to commemorate. It’s not enough to talk about it. We have to stop it right now. … The first step to doing that is to stop the genocide in Gaza.” Takriti lays out four principles for Nakba education: refuting Nakba denialism, recognizing the Nakba is part of an ongoing process of settler colonialism, stopping that process, and then reversing it by restoring Palestinian national rights.
