Palestinian protesters hold a large version of their national flag during a rally the day before the 66th anniversary of the “Nakba” on May 14, 2014 in Gaza city. “Nakba” means in Arabic “catastrophe” in reference to the birth of the state of Israel 66-years-ago in British-mandate Palestine, which led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who either fled or were driven out of their homes during the 1948 war over Israel’s creation.
