This year is the 43rd anniversary of Palestinian Land Day. On March 30, 1976, six Palestinians from Arab villages inside the Green Line were shot and killed by Israeli forces while protesting the confiscation of 5,500 acres of land from the Galilee. Since then, Land Day has been commemorated by Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem as well as inside Israel and around the world.
In 2018, Land Day was marked by a Mass March of Return, with thousands of people from Gaza and the West Bank marching for over 46 days to converge en masse on the Gaza Strip’s roughly 45-kilometre-long eastern border with Israel. The Great March of Return has continued throughout the year with weekly marches to the border in eastern Gaza. Land Day and the Great Return March express the indomitable resistance of the Palestinian people to the Zionist occupiers whereby, generations later, all those displaced as well as their descendants fully affirm their right of return as codified in international law.
