This resolution aims to recognize and commemorate the Palestinian Nakba , or "catastrophe," which refers to the historical and ongoing displacement and dispossession of the Palestinian people from their homeland. It highlights the events of 1948, including the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians by Zionist militias and the new Israeli army, leading to the depopulation of over 400 Palestinian villages. The resolution emphasizes that the Nakba is not just a historical event but an ongoing process , citing the destruction of homes, expansion of settlements, and confinement of Palestinians. The resolution asserts that the United States should officially recognize and remember the Nakba, denounce its ongoing nature, and reject efforts to deny it. It encourages education about the Nakba's facts and its relevance to modern refugee crises, while also supporting the provision of social services to Palestinian refugees through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. Crucially, it calls for the implementation of Palestinian refugees' rights as enshrined in United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194 and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights . Finally, the resolution urges the U.S. to end its complicity by prohibiting the use of U.S. weapons to destroy Palestinian homes and forcibly remove Palestinians, and by ending diplomatic support for such actions.
