Tens of thousands of Palestinians gathered at Gaza’s border with Israel on the eve of the Nakba anniversary, the day they call “catastrophe”.

70 years ago Palestinians were forced from their land and the state of Israel was created.

The protests coincided with the opening of the US embassy which has been relocated from Tel Aviv to a contested area in Jerusalem. The move drew international condemnation.

US President Donald Trump announced last year he was recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

So, what does it all mean for one of the world’s longest-running conflicts?

Why were nearly a million destitute Jewish refugee's from Arab countries absorbed into Israeli society at great expense to become wonderful and productive citizens, and the nearly one million Arab "refugees" who left Israel many of their own accord not absorbed into Arab countries.. but continue to be parasites and violent troublemakers… Difference between civilized and barbaric cultures I guess.
