THE NEVER-ENDING NAKBA

New York, NY I In These Times

Eyewitness Palestine delegate Rahul Saksena writes about how Israeli airport officials confiscated his notebook, details what was written inside of it, and some of his reflections on Israel's mass-expelled Palestinians from their lands 70 years ago and on-going Nakba.

"On our way to Ben Gurion Airport on May 6, I had a pit in my stomach. I had a feeling that airport officials would go through my belongings, read my journal, and confiscate it. As our bus approached the airport, I took photos of all twenty-eight pages of notes I had taken over the course of our week there. I may never see my journal again, but at least I can tell the stories that Israel doesn’t want us to hear."
