Gila learned about the Nakba long before she was ever introduced to her own history with Israel.

“I learned more about the Nakba from Israeli liberals than what they were willing to tell me about what Jews did to Jews, because they were all a part of it,” the 30-year-old Mizrahi Jew of Iranian descent said.

The Nakba – Arabic for catastrophe – refers to when Israel was established upon the expulsion of more than 750,000 Palestinians in 1948.
