Palestinian Refugees: 60 Years of Suffering

In 1948, 3/4 of Palestinians were uprooted from their home and their towns and villages were destroyed by Israeli militias. Today more than 6 million children, women, and men are languishing in 59 refugee camps and in exile all over the world.

On the 60th anniversary of the continuing catastrophe that characterizes life for Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and Diaspora, The Muslim Public Affairs Council released its "60 Years of Palestinian Suffering Resource Kit". The kit provides vital practical tools to organize public awareness efforts and includes a historical timeline of events, web resources, and a petition to circulate and deliver to members of Congress.
