New York Mayor Mamdani Marks Nakba Day

Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani: "Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us-- one of home, tradition and memory over generations."

Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam, the secretary-general of the Arab League from 1945 to 1952, declared in 1947 that, were a war to take place with the proposed establishment of a Jewish state, it would lead to "a war of extermination and momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacre and the Crusades."[1]

"Arab countries prepare for war" (Arabic: ) in a section titled "War of extermination..." (Arabic: ... ), which included the quote, with the added words "Personally, I hope the Jews do not force us into this war, because it would be a war of extermination and momentous massacre ..."[1][2]
en.wikipedia.org

I personally wish that the Jews do not drive us to this war, as this will be a war of extermination and momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Tartar massacre or the Crusader wars. I believe that the number of volunteers from outside Palestine will be larger than Palestine's Arab population, for I know that volunteers will be arriving to us from [as far as] India, Afghanistan, and China to win the honor of martyrdom for the sake of Palestine ... You might be surprised to learn that hundreds of Englishmen expressed their wish to volunteer in the Arab armies to fight the Jews.
"Mustafa Amin,

Palestinians no one wants them ... they talk about exterminating the jews before the "war", failed.

Well the IDF took them at their word, and kicked them out. Israelis are correct, if they lose they die, if Israelis win Palestinians are still alive.

Perhaps today is a day the Palestinians should be thankful they exist because the Israelis are humane, unlike the Palistinains that make women wear burkas and gays have to jump from roof tops.

Never heard of Babka until today .... hope I never hear about it again.

Ignorant Twaddle.

Babka? Ignorance and Contempt drip from every word.

You really are a Piece of ----...

"I personally wish that the Jews do not drive us to this war"

So did he get his wish?

"Well the IDF took them at their word, and kicked them out."

Guess not.

"Israelis are correct, if they lose they die"

Who would start a war like this, and claim they're the victim?

Conservatives excel at being victims.

Israel has always been American and British colonialism.

Part of a greater South Western Asia initiative.

The peace-loving, hardworking American taxpayer couldn't agree with the late pontiff more.

US midterm elections are scheduled for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026, barring Dummkopf Trumpf, Felon Musk, or AIPAC foreign interference.

Israel did.

"Argh! Stoopid Palestinians living there for 5,000 years! Gargh! Kill'em all! Like the Sioux and the Apaches! Palestinians are Muslims anyway, so who cares? Blargh! Stoopid Palestinian babies and children starting a war! Argh!"

You need to pick up a history book, m'boy.

"Palestinians didn't start Israel's existential war of independence."

The Arabs in Palestine before the 1948 British pull out but after the 1947 drawing of the lines, were basically saying Israel couldn't exist, that they wouldn't tolerate the existence of Israel. Where as the Jewish people agreed with the "three" state solution that was presented.

Same story different day with this BS.

The Arabs then said they would exterminate the Jews in Palestine. This was before shots were fired in hostilities.

Take from that what you will, but once the British pulled back in to the "three" state solution. The Arabs Elites, and nations, told arabs living in Israel state to leave, and they would be rewarded when Israel was wiped out off the face of the earth, so most left and became refugees.

Well it didn't go as planned, and the Arab muslims that stayed still own their homes.

Whats great about making this word "nabka" fashionable and a cause to "care" about, is that it actually exposes what PoS the Arabs were.

The continued victimhood is hilarious, as people learn of what actually happened.

God Bless Israel and as a Chinese citizen about to get his green card, God bless the United States of America

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) and Coriolanus both have a lot of reading to do.

The popular and effective mayor of NYC is busy, so I'll get a head start on him.

But colonialists don't care about the opinions of those soon to be subjugated.

You have to realize Madbomber blames the Native Americans for their genocide as well.

As a matter of fact, any one who doesn't rollover and kiss the feet of their colonialist masters deserves to be slaughtered.

Might makes right and humanity needs to feed its carnal instincts.

We're nothing more than apes embarrassed by our naked bodies.

Hi Clownshack

You have a lot more patience than me, so I applaud you.

"But colonialists don't care about the opinions of those soon to be subjugated."

Does that include the colonial Arabs who conquered the region during the Islamic conquest?

To be a good Nazi and white supremacist it's best to avoid the more distasteful parts of human history.

Nakba Day is an "annual day of remembrance" so unless you die or end up working in an Apple funded Chinese sweat shop you are probably gonna hear about it again next year.

Why stop there?

Why not the Mongolians, the Persians or the Babylonians.

You're one of the biggest gaslighters on the DR.

What else can you pull out of that colon of yours to justify colonialism and genocide?

#25 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-05-18 03:21 PM

It's just MadBomber.

He's an idiot and Hitler enthusiast.

His most notable contributions to the DR have been: "Hitler was a misunderstood socialist" and "Bernie Sanders is no different than Donald Trump".

The guy is a military lifer who hates socialism.

I wouldn't expect too much from people whose only contribution to society is being expendable and outliving his usefulness.

#10 | Posted by madbomber at 2026-05-17 05:02 AM

So, not a genocide in Gaza? Not an ethnic cleansing and land grab in West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt?

Do you have any questions about why IDF were told to stand down? Or attack their own settlements?

What Israel claim was a cascade of failures, such as IDF's intelligence network mysteriously "going down" makes sense?

Isn't this reminiscent of a certain attack by a mysterious man in a cave?

..No, it's because Muslim hate Jews. There is a religious context. The vast sums of money pouring into this "non-genocide" is Biblical.. /s

you have any questions

He'd gladly kill some Palestinians in the West Bank and shoot their dog if the opportunity was given to him.

Some people are simply horrible people.

Most of them kill for a living, the rest are the ones telling them who to kill.

Israelis will level an entire city block, just to kill 1 person.

No one thinks twice. The innocent dead people are callously written off as human shields, as expendable.

It's been going on for decades.

Generations later they're still paying the price for daring fight against their colonizers.

The footage of Gaza is horrific.

How anyone is still alive is beyond comprehension.

Babka?

Babka is a dessert.

Great with tea or coffee.

But. I guess most desserts are.

#33 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-05-18 06:48 PM

Sorry, I directed that to Oneironut, not you, ClownShack.

#34 | Posted by NerfHerder at 2026-05-18 06:59 PM

I understood you weren't directing your comment at me.

I don't always read that poster's comments, so I didn't realize they had chosen a dessert to "mistake" for the name.

#35 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-05-18 07:34 PM

N is right next to B on the keyboard, it's plausibly a typo.

But not knowing "Nabka" is like not knowing the Union referred to the Civil War at that time and for decades afterwards as "The Great Rebellion."

They only know the pre-whitewashed history.

#36 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-05-18 08:39 PM

"The Great Rebellion."

I thought it was "The War of Northern Aggression"?
