30 March marks the 41st anniversary of Land Day for the Palestinian people, a day that symbolises clinging to the land, identity, and homeland. It is the rejection of the Israeli occupation policies aimed at denying the Palestinian people's rights and their Arab Palestinian identity. This day reminds us of what Israel (the occupying power) did on 30 March, 1976, when it confiscated 21,000 dunums of land from the villages of Arraba, Sakhnin, Deir Hanna and Arab al-Sawaid and others to allocate them to Israeli settlements in the context of a plan to Judaise the Galilee. On the grounds of these attacks, the Palestinian people in Arab cities, villages, and communities in the territories that were occupied in 1948 rose up against the policies, laws, terrorism, oppression, racial discrimination, land grabs and demolition of villages imposed and practiced by (Israel) since its establishment against the Palestinians of 1948 and the entire occupied Palestinian lands.
