A coalition of interfaith and peace organizations is sponsoring a solemn commemoration on the National Mall on June 1 from 12-2 p.m., to mark the 60th anniversary of the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands, and the destruction of over 400 of their villages, to make way for the state of Israel.
 

A Palestinian-crafted quilt composed of squares with the names of some villages, will also be displayed.  There will also be a children's play by Dr. Seuss about racism and systems of Apartheid.
