TUCSON, Ariz. — Nakba is an Arabic word for"catastrophe." It refers to the day after Israel declared itself an independent state from the British in 1948, which led to what some historians and the United Nations calls The First Arab-Israeli War.
The event that the rally goers call the Nakba is also known as the start of Israel's deadliest war, according to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They also refer to it as Israel's War of Independence. One of the marchers who spoke at the rally was Moyheddin Abdulaziz. He was born in Palestine and said he saw his village destroyed in 1947.
