On April 9, 1948, Zionist militias invaded the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin,
located near Jerusalem, and massacred more than 100 of its inhabitants.
The brutality of the massacre spread fear and panic among Palestinian communities,
inducing people to flee their homes and facilitating the ethnic cleansing of Palestine
before, during, and after the establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948.
(Click on the picture to the left to get your Nakba commemorative pin.)
Throughout the year, the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation will be commemorating
the 60th anniversary of the Nakba ("catastrophe" in Arabic): the expulsion and
dispossession of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes and lands in
1948.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
1. Post your Nakba commemoration event to our website. The US Campaign encourages all
of its member organizations to hold an event around May 15, Nakba Day. This could be an
educational event to raise awareness about the Nakba, a vigil to commemorate it, or
whatever other format would work best in your community. Please be sure to post your
group's Nakba commemoration event to our on-line calendar by

* April's Book of the Month Club: Let Me Stand Alone: The Journals of Rachel Corrie
Let Me Stand Alone: The Journals of Rachel Corrie
With an introduction and annotations by the Corrie family
One young woman's voice-intense and poetic-grapples with universal ideas as it
chronicles a personal journey cut short.
How do we find our way in the world? How do our actions affect others? What do we owe
the rest of humanity? These are the timeless questions so eloquently posed by Rachel
Corrie, a young American activist killed on March 16, 2003, as she tried to block the
demolition of a Palestinian family's home in the Gaza Strip. She was twenty-three years
old.
Let Me Stand Alone reveals Corrie's striking gifts as a poet and writer while telling
her story in her own words, from her earliest reflections to her final e-mails. Her
writing brings to life all that it means to come of age-a dawning sense of self, a
thirst for one's own ideals, and an evolving connection to others, near and far. Corrie
writes about the looming issues of her time as well as the ordinary angst of an American
teen, all with breathtaking passion, compassion, insight, and humor. Her writing
reverberates with conviction and echoes her long-held belief in the oneness of humanity:
"We have got to understand that they dream our dreams, and we dream theirs."
