In 1948, Zionists forcibly dispossessed 700,000 Palestinians from their homes. This catastrophe is known as the Nabka.

The Psychoanalyst Activist, the online newsletter for Section IX, of the American Psychological Association,  Psychoanalysts for Social Responsibility, issues a special edition commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Nakba and the ongoing dispossession of Palestinians from their land. The issue is edited by Lara Sheehi.
