If you have a question; now is your chance to ask it.

The accompanying interactive exhibition will present details on the Nakba, which is the source of the Palestinian- Israeli conflict.

Nakba is the Arabic word used to describe the events of 1948, when over 700,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes, civilians were massacred & hundreds of their villages deliberately destroyed. 60 years later they are still waiting to return.

UN Resolution 194 states that:
'... [Palestinian] refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid.'
