Thousands of Palestinians take part in the 26th return march in the displaced village of Lajjun
On April 26th, thousands of Palestinians in the territories occupied in 1948 participated in the 26th return march held this year in the lands of the displaced village of Lajjun.
Despite the Israeli occupation’s attempts to prevent the march for days, the Palestinians’ insistence on organizing it, as thousands of people from the Galilee in the north came to the Negev in the south, carrying Palestinian flags and banners bearing the names of the villages from which the Zionist gangs displaced their people during the 1948 Nakba.
In conjunction with the return march, a number of the people of the displaced villages in the Galilee region visited their villages from which they were displaced during the Nakba, including Hittin, Mayar, Damoun and al-Ghabisiyya.
Jaafar Farah said: The massive participation in this march confirms in word and deed that we are returning to every one of our displaced villages, and that the right of return does not lapse by statute of limitations.
For his part, the liberated prisoner Munir Mansour indicated that with the emphasis on our return, we stress our stand by our prisoners who carried the flag in confronting the occupation and its practices.
The Israeli occupation destroyed 531 Palestinian villages out of 1,300 villages and cities, and its attacks and massacres during the years 1947 and 1948 alone resulted in the death of 15,000 Palestinians, and the displacement of 950,000 out of a million and 400,000.
