Nakba doesn’t convey the severity of this. At least in English. An ethnic cleansing, a genocide, a destruction of the people. More descriptive terms for the English audience
Nakba conveys it just fine if you have read history.
Nakba is a term I’ve never heard of until 2 weeks ago.
I’m not the most well-read person on the planet, but I have a decent amount of world history knowledge. I imagine most people don’t know what nakba means if they’re not already involved with Palestine history.

For me it’s like when Jewish people say something is a pogrom. The historical context behind it has some bearing.
