On Saturday, May 15, 2021 the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM)- حركة الشباب الفلسطيني and Fondation canado-palestinienne du Québec hosted a rally in commemoration of the Nakba (Commémoration de la Nakba) in Montreal.
The Nakba Day (Arabic: يوم النكبة Yawm an-Nakba, meaning “Day of the Catastrophe”) is an annual day in which the Palestinian people commemorates the (voluntarily and forced) displacement of around 700,000 Palestinians that preceded and followed the attempt of the Arab Courtiers to destroy by an orchestrated military attack the nascent state of Israel, which declared its independence on May 15, 1948.
A TikTok video features pro-Palestine protesters holding a swastika that was imposed on an Israel flag and a sign that read: “Zionism is Nazism.”
