'Another Nakba will not happen under our watch' – demonstrators

Cape Times

|

May 19, 2025

THOUSANDS of protesters gathered at the Castle of Good Hope for the remembrance of Nakba Day yesterday, which marked 77 years of Palestinians' dispossession.

- MANYANE MANYANE

They joined tens of thousands who rallied across the world in solidarity with Palestinians amid Israel’s war on Gaza and to mark the 1948 attack on Palestinians, remembered as the Nakba, or catastrophe.

The Nakba resulted in the permanent mass displacement of Palestinians after the creation of Israel in 1948.

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) said as Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza and the West Bank intensifies - targeting civilians, journalists, medics and aid workers - the world cannot remain silent.

The PSC demanded a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. It also called for an end to all arms sales to Israel and justice and freedom for Palestinians.

“We are gathering at the Castle of Good Hope - a fortress of colonial violence - to stand against the violence of apartheid in Palestine. Our message is clear: apartheid must end, whether in South Africa's history or Palestine’ present,” read a message from the organisers.
