Before explaining the real cause of the current misery of Palestinians, let us first refresh what Nakba is about? Palestinians around the globe mark the Nakba to reminisce systematically designed ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The remaining 22 per cent was divided into what are now the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip. Amid this Craig Mokhiber, Director of the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, dropped a conscience-jarring letter to his boss, saying he was quitting over UN failures in Palestine and elsewhere. It is a stunning historic irony that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in the same year that the Nakba was perpetrated against the Palestinian people,” Mokhiber wrote.
