Palestinians mark 67th Nakba anniversary in Jerusalem Hundreds of Palestinians demonstrated on the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem on Friday, to mark the 67th anniversary of the "Nakba". "Nakba" means in Arabic "catastrophe" in reference to the birth of the state of Israel 67-years-ago in British-mandate Palestine, which led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who either fled or were driven out of their homes during the 1948 war over Israel's creation.
