Seventy-five years ago, starting on May 15, Palestinians were driven from their homes in 1948. This event is what Palestinians have come to refer to as the Nakba, which means catastrophe in Arabic.

At that time, approximately 750,000 people were violently forced from their homes. In the decades after, tens of thousands of others were murdered and displaced. And millions of Palestinians became refugees. 

Recently, the United Nations passed a resolution to finally acknowledge that day of catastrophe.

On the latest episode of Don’t Call Me Resilient, host Vinita Srivastava speaks with M. Muhannad Ayyash, professor of sociology at @MountRoyalUniversity in Calgary to help unpack some of the meanings behind this resolution.
