Both Muslims and Christians suffer under the weight of Israeli occupation
Basic Law: "Israel is the Nation-State of the Jewish People"
For Palestinian Muslims and Christians, the creation of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, on the land of historic Palestine — and its devastating aftermath, known as the “Nakba” (the Catastrophe) — left deep, lasting wounds. Both communities were displaced or killed, losing homes and livelihoods and forced to live as refugees in their own motherland or in neighboring countries under the auspices of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
In refugee camps, Palestinians of both faiths lived under the same tents, wore the same clothes, ate and drank the same food and water and received the same health care provided by UNRWA. Snowstorms did not differentiate — Christian and Muslim children froze to death alike. Many were killed in similar ways during the Nakba.
