Last month, Palestinians everywhere commemorated Al Nakba, and Nada Elia says that Palestine solidarity circles are right to celebrate the discursive change that has finally shattered the Zionist stranglehold on the mainstream narrative around the question of Palestine. But, she writes, solidarity must be reciprocal, “Diaspora Palestinians living in the US must also seek to redress the consequences of the catastrophe that befell the indigenous people of the land we now inhabit. Many of us do recognize this injustice, and frequently begin our talks and lectures with an acknowledgement that we are speaking on stolen Indigenous land. But we can and should do more.”
