[May 2013] 15 May, 2013, marked the 65th anniversary of the #Nakba - when 750,000 Palestinians were displaced from the territory that became #Israel. In #1948, more than 50% of the entire Palestinian population was ethnically cleansed. In commemoration of the Nakba, and the displacement that continues #today, VP released ‘An Ongoing Displacement’. The graphic references the iconic ‘Disappearing Palestine’ image, adding a layer of detail that quantitatively catalogues the multiple dimensions of Palestinian #displacement and loss of #land.
