The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine refers to a series of events in 1947-1948 during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where many Palestinian Arabs were forcibly expelled or fled from their homes as the state of Israel was established. Supporters argue it was a tragic result of war and conflict, while critics label it as deliberate displacement aimed at creating a Jewish-majority state. The process involved violence, intimidation, and laws that led to the depopulation of Palestinian villages. This history remains highly sensitive and central to ongoing disputes over land, rights, and justice in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
