The tragedy which befell your people and which you call Naqba day was not May 14th 1948, the date on which the State of ISRAEL was established. No the tragic date you should commemorate occurred much earlier, November 29th 1947, the date on which the UN voted on partition. Your people rejected that plan and as has been stated in the above you lost your "state" to JORDAN. Take your gripe up with them not us.
