“Record, record. Don’t get the information wrong. I’ll speak slower, but focus and write. What happened yesterday was a neo-Nakba.” –A Palestinian elder calls on the world to witness the ethnic cleansing of Ein Samiya in May 2023 by racist Jewish settlers.

Israeli settlers and military systematically made life unbearable for the Bedouin community living in the West Bank’s Ein Samiya region. On May 22 they were forced to leave their lands and were displaced for the fourth time since 1969.

The Zionist ethos of “maximum land, minimum Arabs” made the Nakba possible and allows the Nakba to repeat itself every time a Zionist colonist takes over Palestinian land, whether in Ein Samiya today or in Yaffa in 1948.

This week, an entire Palestinian community was forcibly expelled from the village of Ein Samiya following months of settler attacks and years harsh Israeli policies.
