A group of activists and Arab Israelis - descendants of Palestinians who stayed on their land after Israel's creation in 1948 - hold a march of return to the historic Palestinian village of Lajjun on the anniversary of the "Nakba" or catastrophe, marking the expulsion or flight of hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. "Today we're being deprived of even being here. We are asked why we're here ... that's very hurtful, to be asked such a question when you've come to visit your own land," says Ziad Mahajna, whose family was expelled from the village of Lajjun by Zionist paramilitary groups when he was only five and a half years old. The Israeli kibbutz of Megiddo now stands near the site of the village of Lajjun. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
