The Nakba: translates into "the catastrophe", is the word Palestinians use to relate to their displacement from their original homes/towns/cities in 1948.

Jaffa: Arabic town which is now part of Tel-Aviv/Jaffa. It is in the south of Tel-Aviv and predominantly Arabic. Even though heavy gentrification is pushing the Arabic population out of it.

Safed: An Arabic city in the north that is now predominantly Jewish.

Knesset: Israeli parliament
