The Nakba: Ethnic cleansing, demographic settlement, and taking over land

The events of Palestine’s Nakba and the expulsion that followed it constituted a great tragedy for the Palestinian people since the Nakba was and still is an act of racial cleansing, in which an entire people was destroyed and expelled and in its place groups and individuals were settled from all parts of the world, and more than 800,000 Palestinians were caused to flee from their villages and cities, out of 1.4 million Palestinians who were living in historical Palestine in 1948 in 1,300 Palestinian villages and cities. Most of the expelled reached a number of neighboring Arab states, and also the West Bank and the Gaza Strip; and in addition there was an internal expulsion of thousands of them within the areas that were subjugated to the Israeli occupation regime the year of the Nakba and afterwards, after they were expelled from their homes and [the Israelis] took over their lands.

During the Nakba, the Israeli occupation took over 774 Palestinian villages and cities, 531 of which were completely destroyed – and those that remained were subjugated to the occupation entity and its laws.This cleansing operation was accompanied by more than 70 massacres against the Palestinians by the Zionist gangs, which led to the Martyrdom-death of more than 15,000 Palestinians.

The demographic situation: 71 years after the Nakba, the number of Palestinians has grown more than nine-fold
