The unprecedented, six-week peaceful protests that began with Land Day on March 30 in Gaza and are supposed to reach a climax on Nakba Day on May 15 have been largely confined to the Gaza Strip.
While the large, nonviolent protests have been led by an independent committee in Gaza, they were supported by all Palestinian nationalist PLO factions as well as Islamic ones.
