The term “Nakba” is generally translated as “catastrophe” in Arabic, referring to the outcome of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It is a term used to delegitimize the creation of the State of Israel by drawing a comparison to the Holocaust, known in Hebrew as the Shoah, meaning “catastrophe.”
The “right of return” is a Palestinian demand discredited as a means to eliminate Israel. It is often expressed by showing a key symbol or emoji. International law mandates no absolute right of return and UN Resolution 194, which defined principles for “refugees wishing to return to their homes,” was rejected by all Arab nations following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
