Seventy-five years since the Nakba, or the Palestinian catastrophe, which refers to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian natives by the apartheid regime of Israel in 1947-1948, the day has not been forgotten.

Dozens of Israeli settlers, escorted by military forces, storm the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied Old City of al-Quds, and performed Talmudic rituals as Palestinians are commemorating the 74th anniversary of the Nakba (Catastrophe) Day.

Into its second shocking week, Israel’s murderous assault on Gaza leaves no doubt that the so-called international community is a brake on, not the driver of, human progress in our time, they have the impertinence to believe. Like spectators at the Roman Colosseum, these machine men with machine hearts are happy to spectate at the slaughter of the innocents. 

Iran’s Foreign Ministry, in marking the Nakba Day, condemns the Israeli regime’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza.
