Today on Flashpoints, a minor break through on the hunger strikes in Palestine, as Palestinians commemorate the 64th anniversary of the Nakba: the day that marks the initial displacement and dipossesion of Palestinians from their homeland. We’ll speak to a leading Palestinian activist about the nakba and today’s breaking news on the hunger strikes and the right to return. We’ll also be joined by Richard Falk, professor of international law emeritus, Princeton Universtiy and special reporter on occupied Palestinian territories for the U.N.
