No where in the article is “Nakba” defined.

The Nakba (Arabic: النَّكْبَة an-Nakba, lit. ‘the catastrophe’) is the ethnic cleansingof Palestinians through their violent displacement and dispossession of land, property, and belongings, along with the destruction of their society and the suppression of their culture, identity, political rights, and national aspirations. The term is used to describe the events of the 1948 Palestine war as well as the ongoing persecution and displacement of Palestinians by Israel. As a whole, it covers the fracturing of Palestinian society and the long-running rejection of the right of return for Palestinian refugees and their descendants.

Interesting and loaded term: “right of return”?

Who defined that right?
