Radio Free Palestine is an annual, global radio broadcast commemorating the anniversary of the Nakba-- the ongoing displacement, occupation, and apartheid inflicted on the Palestinian people since 1948.

In 1948, over 750,000 Palestinians were violently expelled from their homes in a wave of ethnic cleansing that sought not only to remove them from their ancestral lands, but to erase the memory of them. And it didn’t stop there. It’s still unfolding today, with checkpoints, sieges, bombing of hospitals, the outlawing of mourning, and more.

It’s what’s been happening in Gaza, the West Bank, the annexed Golan Heights; it spreads into Lebanon as we speak, and the diaspora at large who are forbidden by Israeli law to ever return home. What we’re all witnessing is so much more than a “conflict.” The U.S.-backed military occupation that has escalated into what the global majority understands is a genocide, is colonialism and indigenous erasure in real time.

Free free Palestine!
