Nakba Day protests attacked by Israeli forces

Thousands of Palestinians marked the 65th anniversary of the Nakba Wednesday, as Israeli forces violently repressed demonstrations in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The Nakba, or catastrophe, refers to the 1948 campaign to cleanse Palestine of non-Jews, which drove more than 750,000 Palestinians away from their homes.

Israeli police violently attacked a protest in Jerusalem, beating demonstrators and spraying them with “skunk” waste water. Footage on al-Mayadeen showed a member of the Israeli police forces shoving a man on crutches who was walking up a flight of stairs.
