How naive are the comments I'm reading regarding that someday Arabs will recognize there expulsions of Jews from Arab lands. 1967 borders are not defensible .Palestinians were offered there own country countless times since Balfour. Only a greater Israel is the solution.
32. Let's Celebrate
Phil N ,   Wheeling, IL, US   (05.14.13)
By emphasizing Nabka Day, we are reminded that the so called Palestinian plight was caused when they rejected a partition that was very favorable to the arabs. Instead they chose a war of anihilation and lost. I have no sympathy for them.
33. commemorate our own
Mike ,   TA   (05.14.13)
Lets commemorate the Arab occupation of Judea which occurred in February 635 of common era. Lets not try to prevent their free speech rights but rather employ our own and have our own events.
34. Useful Jewish idiots mark Arab's self-iflicted Nakba.

Tfeh.
35. Some Brass Ones
Ron ,   Los Angeles US   (05.14.13)
Arabs should have to go to university in Arab countries they can bitch in Arab countries and we can see how long they live. Freedom of speech is sacrosanct in Israel but what idiots. The Arabs are solely responsible for their fate. If the combined Arab states did not attack Israel in 1948 there would have been no nakba. There is civil war in Syria, Iraq and possibly Egypt let the Arabs and sappy leftists deal with that one.

From the estimated 6 million Jews please tell me how many were collaborators. You sick woman.
37. sick, sick, sick leftist 'liberals'
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (05.14.13)
For an Israeli who knows his history of the sufferings of his people to join such a lie filled event is disgusting. We Jews suffered from the Arabs before the war of Independence yet we tried to reach out to them in friendship. Instead they chose to listen to their insane Immans and rulers. The war ensued and gratefully they lost. Those who did not flee are still here living in peace and freedom. Had we lost, there would have been a second holocaust here. We certainly would not have peace and freedom from the dihimi loving Arabs.
38. One more proof that "leftism" is a mental affliction, not
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.14.13)
a political statement.
39. Yes! they are right! We shoud say sorry for having survived!
Happy ,   Nakbah   (05.14.13)
There are several inconsistencies with their claim: -They are complaing of a supposed "ethnic cleansing" in 48 and they are demonstrating from .... the same place they were supposed to NOT be present anymore : Israel!! LOL! More than that... - My family, like many other sephardic families in the middle east and elsewhere, were STOLEN and EXPELLED from their land: but do we see the same demonstrations every year? Nop, we never did, i never did. We moved on! We built! We didnt weep! We rolled up our sleeves and many jews fought hard to survive against the arab plan of extermination in 47-48. - Like i said: maybe we should say them sorry for living? or instead let's wish them a happy nakbah day and remind them of the real ethnic cleasing by reminding the hard fact: 900,000 jews in arab lands before 48 and less than 30,000 nowadays. 700,000 arabs in 48 in the 48 borders: and more than 1,650,000 today.... They are a joke...
40. Home grown ignorance...
P Sheaf ,   Liverpool UK   (05.14.13)
How has Israel managed to get itself into such a state that it's citizens believe Arab rhetoric? Am I missing something here? How are these students so wound up in their little world that they fail to see the bigger picture?
41. all those useful jewish liberal idiots
lucifer69   (05.14.13)
you would be probably dead if the arabs had won. Go to university, enjoy life, dodge the army, you useful idiots.
42. Have the state stop giving our tax money
jason white ,   afula,israel   (05.14.13)
to tel aviv university! Ban all students who did not serve in the I.D.F. as well as all professors that did not serve or are left wing.
43. The Nakba is nothing short of considering Israel's existence
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.14.13)
as a catastrophe. Evidence: It is commemorated on the very first day of Israel's existence, as if to say that it was the ethical and legal proclamation of the re-instituting of Jewish sovereignty in the Jewish people's ancestral homeland is a catastrophe. With this state of mind on the Arabs' side, it is understood why, to date, no Arab leader accepts Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the SOVEREIGN NATION-STATE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE on ANY parcel of land of the Jewish people's ancestral homeland. And, it is clear that with this attitude, PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE that we, Jews seek so much, is not forthcoming any time soon, sadly.
44. to #21 I doubt it you r Chritian, the holly trinity
ghostq   (05.14.13)
got not thing to do with arabs. they weren't in the holly land when Yeshuah was alive.
45. Leftist mindset re. 1948
Unaccepting   (05.14.13)
The Jewish-born creatures who join anti-Israeli Arabs in commemorating the so-called "Nakba" should be ostracized and publicly rejected... Klal Yisrael has no room for traitors to our nation and heritage. It is high time for these misbegotten individuals to leave Israel!
46. Jewish Nakba from Arabs
AL QUDS ALYAHUDI ,   QUDS HAKA ALYAHUD   (05.14.13)
Why these RACIST Jewish leftist do not demonstrate against the Arabs countries such as, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Tunisia, & others Arabs countries who expelled their Jewish national and confiscated their homes,properties, bank account, cash, gold, furniture, etc,. These Racist Israeli Arabs with their supporters the leftist are completely blind and one sided. Jews not allowed to claim only ARABS. NO CLAIM AGAINST ISRAEL.
47. the 15th of may wasn't yesterday
ghostq   (05.14.13)
which means the pro palis can't even read the calender. ROTFL they even got the date wrong.
48. Nakba day
Jews fight like Lion ,   LION OF JUDAH   (05.14.13)
Israel should do Nakba day as public holiday and make street parties, as really it was MIRACLE Jews won this great war against all odds. Nakba day SAMEACH TO ISRAEL JEWS HAVE GOOD FESTIVAL AND DRINK L'CHAIM TO THE STATE OF JEWS CALLED ISRAEL OR IZRAIL
49. White Paper 1939 Real Catastrophe
Zechariah   (05.14.13)
50. Sarah, where art thou?
Cameron ,   USA   (05.14.13)
This one is surely made for you to cast the cold eye upon.
51. As a jew from
Ralph ,   Caesarea   (05.14.13)
an Arab country, I was expelled in 48 hours and if we tried to protest we were jailed for years! These far leftists are free to leave Eretz Israel .
52. #21 Whenever you talk about something being "holy",
A ,   Belgium   (05.14.13)
it's obvious you are talking about the space between your ears. You have as much "spirituality" as a box of corn flakes and if I was a Christian, I would be insulted by anything you have to say relating to the topic.
53. Tel Aviv Uni has been a great DISGRACE for Israel for years
Masters Student   (05.14.13)
I am proud that I've chosen not to study there!
54. there is a hell-lot of different between demand 1948 & 1967
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (05.14.13)
only the nuts at UN can be fooled into thinkin that palestinians will just be satisfied by a mere return to 1967 (G-D forbid). but WE ALL KNOW, that palestinians want nothing short of returning to pre 1948 state, which means all Jews "return" to Europe or to Warsaw Camps . Israeli arabs while holding Israeli citiizenship, demand a pre 1948, is nothing short of treason !

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.14.13)
Do you know how the Judenrat had to work ? Do you know that the members's families were often jailed to have them killed too in case of not obeying . Do you know that some of their members comitted suicide ? Do you know that they organised homes for orphans for children arrested without their parents ? That around a 800 were saved thanks to this in Belgium ? I'm one of them . Read "ils n'ont pas eu ces gosses" , by Sylvain Brachfeld . How would you have reacted if you were obliged to serve as a member of the Judenrat ? If your family was arrested to be also murdered if you would not comply ? There were certainly cases where those people sided with the nazis , maybe thinking that they would save their life in this way . Not easy for me to condemn them all .

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.14.13)
Now they would like to have a state in the pre 67 line [ it was never a border , only a cease fire line ] but they did NOT ask for it during the illegal jordanian occupation of this territory from 1948 to 67 .
57. #21
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.14.13)
Perhaps God has forgotten his promises to the Jews or he didn't really mean it in the first place if we are to believe you. Why don't you ask him and let us know what he says?

59. Nakba ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.14.13)
It's their own fault . They didn't accept the partition plan , attacked and lost . Very simple . A proof , if needed , that they want every square km between the river and the sea ? they didn't ask for a state during the Jordanian occupation , after attacking and violating a UN decision , of Judea Samaria , but only after Israel , while defending herself occupied all this territory . Another point . For those who call Israel an "apartheid" state , see this : Arab students at an Israeli univ !
60. Tel Aviv 'Naqba' demo
Bikerwolf ,   London .U.K.   (05.15.13)
And what about the 'Naqba' of the formation of the State of Jordan with its fake Hashemite/ British monarchy and its 80 percent Palestiinian Arab population? Or the creation of the French 'Christian' Lebanon or the Alawite secular over-class of Syria? Or even the Naqba of the failure to create a homeland for the Kurds? Or in fact any of the Arab 'Naqbas' which were started by the European Mandates of post WW1 leading to the present day Bonfire of Dictatorships. Why no leftie demos for these? Lots of spare 'Naqbas' to be found in the Middle East eh?
