She took a minute to mark the “remarkable achievement of Israel.” No mention that for Palestinians, Nakba Day is a day of remembrance and mourning: more than 700,000 Palestinians fled or were forcibly removed from their villages and homes to make way for the creation of Israel.No mention that the unarmed protests at the border were a “scream for life,” as the organizer of the March of Return put it.

“Our hardships induced this scream for life. The March of Return is a scream for life so that we may leave the walls of our prison,” Ahmad Abu Artema, the 33-year-old main organizer of the March of Return, told CNN. “Why would we die here in silence? We want our message to reach the world. We want to say to the world, ‘Here there is a people. A people searching for a life of dignity, human rights and freedom.’”
