Palestinians call the formation of the State of Israel a tragedy, they have a word for it, 'Nakba' and a day that commemorates the tragic displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians after the Arab war against Isreal's formation failed and Israel annexed land abandoned by the Arab forces.
Their tragedy came about as a result of a war that was waged against Israel and the failure of the Arab forces to succeed in their mission. However, the real tragedy that occurred after Israel was formed was the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Jews within Arab and Muslim countries - the true Nakba was the theft of property, assets and the ultimate banishment of Jews from their homes who had lived in Muslim lands for centuries.

Last week, two people were killed within hours, Ali Hassarma in Bana and Sam Kablan in Beit Jann. A 36-year-old man was also shot near the Puridis junction and moderately injured. The background to the shooting seemed to be a simple road rage incident. MDA staff evacuated him to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera.
