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.
The final episode looks at the expulsions of 1948 and their aftermath, and at how the Nakba continues to shape Palestinian lives and the struggle for return.
