Israeli police officers clash with Israeli Arabs during a protest marking the Nakba, or the catastrophe, the Arabic term used to describe the uprooting of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the 1948 creation of the state of Israel, in the northern Israeli village of Saffouri, Thursday, May 8, 2008. Israeli police clashed with Arab protesters after a march marking the Palestinian displacement of 1948, referred to in Arabic as "nakba," or catastrophe. The clash took place after thousands were leaving the march. Police said protesters hurled rocks at them, and at cars on a nearby highway. Protesters say they were provoked by right-wing Israelis yelling `'death to the Arabs." (AP Photo/Hagai Aharon)
