Palestinians to Israelis: "You leave, we stay – it’s our LAND"

Thousands of Palestinians and Israeli Arabs held rallies on Wednesday to mark the 40th anniversary of "Land Day" – when protests against the Israeli confiscation of land in the Galilee region ended in violence and death, EuroNews reports.

The commemorations, which were marked by a minute’s silence, featured slogans such as "the earth is the homeland".  Their message to the Israelis was clear: a mural spelt out, in English, the words "You leave, we stay – it’s our LAND".

Six Arab Israelis were killed by Israeli security forces during the demonstrations in 1976.

There were also protests in Gaza featuring a poster more than 2,000 metres long, described as the longest in the world.
