Al Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin reports from Gaza, where this year's commemorations have been overshadowed by the more recent destruction wrought by Israel's war on the territory.

Show AllIt truly saddens me the misery being forced upon the victims of an illegal and immoral invasion, and I wish them the best.
Gee, but the Israelis say there were almost no people in Palestine in 1948 and the Palestinians are just lying about the Naquba. Palestine was a land without a people for a people without a land, at least that is what the propaganda would have us believe.
May Palestine return as a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, multi-lingual state with equal rights for all, no matter if you are pale or dark.
"Benjamin Netanyahu will refuse to support the formation of a Palestinian state in his first meeting with President Barack Obama, a source close to the Israeli Prime Minister says."
It's time to repeal UNGA-181 and return to a single state called Palestine.
