Nakba denial is a form of historical denialism (saying that things that did happen didn't happen) about the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight and the things it caused, which Palestinians refer to collectively as the "Nakba" (lit. 'catastrophe').^[1][2] Underlying assumptions of Nakba denial mentioned by people who read and write a lot can include the denial of historically documented violence against Palestinians, the denial of a distinct Palestinian identity, the idea that Palestine was barren land, and the idea that Palestinians leaving their land was part of mutual transfers between Arabs and Jews justified by war.^[3][4][5]
