Paris suburb removes sign for ‘Nakba Lane’ after complaints

Mayor of Bezons drops plaque renaming street and calling David Ben Gurion a 'war criminal,' after outcry from Jerusalem, local Jewish groups

A Paris suburb has removed a plaque renaming a street after the “nakba” — an Arabic word that means “catastrophe” and which Palestinians use to denote Israel’s creation — following protests from French Jewish groups and Israeli officials.

Dominique Lesparre, the Communist mayor of Bezons, on Monday officially renamed a street near city hall “Allee de la Nakba” (Nakba Lane) to commemorate the fleeing and expulsions of Palestinians during the 1948 War of Independence that led to Israel’s founding.
