THIS year will mark 75 years since the Nakba. That is 75 years of dispossession, ethnic cleansing and apartheid. Over 750,000 Palestinian were driven in to exile and more than 500 villages were wiped from the map. Those Palestinians that fled left their homes with their keys in their hands – 75 years later they are still waiting to return.
In the trade union movement, we have a long and proud history of standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The NEU and its legacy union the NUT began supporting their struggles in the 1980s and we have continued to build and develop the work that we do.
