He raises some interesting points. Many/most people haven't a clue what Nakba is about anyway. Only progressives would know. Having something with the word Palestinian in it would be clear to everybody.
Incidentally, I was at a big Nakba anniversary some years ago and there were very few people there. A couple of hundred at the very most. So, it badly needs some regeneration. That and the fact that I had a row with a lunatic zionist are all I remember about it.
Maybe keep the word Nakba, to distinguish it from all the current anti-genocide marches, but add in a bit about Palestinian Resistance and knock "River to the Sea" on the head. It certainly has a kick out the Israelis feel about it. The Irish struggle would never have made any sort of headway if it had a "kick out the Unionists" feel about it.
