Historical Events

Land Day (30 March 1976)
"In memory of those who fell on Land Day. They died so that we can live, and their spirit lives on". Text on the memorial site at Sakhnin (Photo: Makbula Nassar, 2003)
For a quarter of a century, the Palestinian minority in Israel has celebrated Land Day on March 30 as a protest against Israel’s discriminatory policies toward its one million Palestinian citizens and to underline its collective and individual rights. Land Day is also a commemoration of the bloody confrontations with state “security” forces that took place in 1976 when six Palestinians were killed and some 100 injured.
