Nakba Day events at the University of East London

On Nakba Day, 15 May, Palestinians mark events which
resulted in mass
displacement and exclusion. In 2008 it will be 60 years since a million
people were compelled to leave their homes - most never returned.
You are invited to the Docklands Campus of the University of East London
to
join historians, social scientists and film-makers in discussion on the
conflict of 1948, its outcomes and the implications for Palestinians and
for
Israeli society.
