From New York, this is Democracy Now.

Many years have passed since the Nakhba.

And every few years a war comes our way, yet we remain steadfast.

This last war, the one on October 7th, I feel this is the biggest war in the history of Palestine.

Why?

Because the destruction is immeasurable.

Today marks the 78th anniversary of what Palestinians

call Nakhba Day, the commemoration of the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their homes

during Israel's founding in 1948. We'll speak with Palestinian writer and analyst Mohammed Jihadah about Gaza today, where Israel now occupies 60% of the territory.

Most of the population has been displaced.

His latest article, Gaza's disarmament trap.

Then renowned Israeli-American Holocaust scholar Omar Bartov joins us in New York.

His new book, Israel, What Went Wrong?

I wrote this book as I was watching what was happening in Gaza, and I felt it was incumbent

on me both to try to understand what is going on there

and to try to understand the origins of this event going all the way back to the establishment

of the state of Israel.

And we'll be joined by Haaret's journalist Guido Nluvi from Tel Aviv.

All that and more coming up.

Thank you. Skidun-Levy from Tel Aviv. All that and more coming up. Welcome to Democracy Now. Democracy Now.org, the War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman.

The House of Representatives has rejected another effort to rein in President Trump's ability

to wage war against Iran.
