A four-part Al Jazeera series by Rawan Damen on the history of the Nakba, the “catastrophe” of 1948. As the series puts it, the Nakba did not begin in 1948: its roots go back more than two centuries, through Ottoman rule, the British Mandate and the rise of political Zionism.
Episode 2 continues the story through the British Mandate years, combining rare archive material with the testimony of historians and Palestinians who lived through the period.
