(COMMENT)Why Israel Fears the Nakba: How Memory Became Palestineās Greatest Weapon
Israel is afraid of Palestinian memory, since it is the only facet of its war against the Palestinian people that it cannot fully control.
Most of us do not remember the memories in the first stage of our lives (between one and four years old). "Research has indicated that most peopleās earliest memories, on average, date back to when they were 3-1/2 years old." (See: Psychology Today)
Let's see if you can connect the dots here...
Life expectancy at birth: This entry contains the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures. See the Pyramid Chart.
total population: 75.9 years
male: 73.8 years
female: 78.1 years (2020 est.)
The Nakba was ā 72 years ago. Add 3.5 years until memories start to stick. That is 75+ years old if you were of a memory forming age at the time of the Nakba. There were less than 700,000 refugees (less than a million displaced persons and not all of them were forced transfers). Of that number, there are less than a half-% (.005). That means (all things being equal) optimistically there would be ā 3.5K in the population that "might have memories" of that period. Even at age 6, memory perception is somewhat dubious. Someone that is 80 years old trying to recall events at the early ages of 3 to 6 yo would have some difficulty distinguishing facts from the storytelling.
It is not reasonable to assume that anyone in their right mind is going to base any credibility on pre-school memories that are over three-quarters of a century old.
Most Respectfully,

The name Gaza is Hebrew in origin, not Arabic, reflecting Jewsā ancient presence there.
That's an easy one. Take a map of Israel, erase the fake border armistice lines, (The Armistice lines were specifically not to be political or territorial boundaries.) and there you will find Palestine.Where is āpalestineā located?
