Tlaib Introduces Resolution Recognizing 78 Years of Ongoing Palestinian Nakba

Community Alliance for Peace and Justice is a proud endorser of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s (MI-12) re-introduction of the resolution Recognizing the Ongoing Nakba and Palestinian Refugees’ Rights.

“May 15, 2026, marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba. The Nakba, which means “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the mass expulsion and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes and homeland during the creation of the state of Israel (1947-49). The Nakba did not end in 1948, but continues to this day as Israeli forces continue to commit genocide in Gaza and dispossess Palestinians across all of Palestine.” (Excerpted from Resolution)
