The Naqba, the Naqsa and... Oslo?

Labels: » »
The 'Palestinian Authority's official media has begun to present the Oslo accords as a 'tragedy' on a par with Israel's attaining independence in 1948 (known as the Naqba) and with Israel's liberation of the eastern half of Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and Gaza in 1967 (known as the Naqsa).
I thought Naqba and Naqsa were the same thing. Check my blog... I have made this mistake over and over again. Arabic is confusing because it is often spelled differently in English. because of this I thought these words were the same event
