The ethnic cleansing of Palestine
Aug 3rd, 2014 at 4:11pm
 
Palestine was ethnically cleansed by a process of murder and expulsion at fear of death by terrorist gangs who now call themselves Israelis.

In the place of a peaceful land is now the Pariah state of Apartheid Israel.

http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/08/01/the-pariah-state/

"... David Ben-Gurion, December 1947, February 1948; cited in Aruri.

‘The conquest [of Deir Yassin by Irgun and Stern Gang forces, supported by Haganah operatives, in April 1948] was carried out with great cruelty. Whole families – women, old people, children – were killed … Some of the prisoners moved to places of detention, including women and children, were murdered viciously by their captors.’

Yitzhak Levy, Haganah Intelligence Service; cited in Benny Morris, The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited, 2004.

‘[Of the massacre at al-Daway(i)ma in May 1948] Cultured and well mannered commanders who are considered good fellows … have turned into low murderers, and this happened not in the storm of battle and blind passion, but because of a system of expulsion and annihilation. The few Arabs remain the better.’

Account of a participant soldier who Morris claims ‘appears to have based himself largely or completely on hearsay’ but who elsewhere is described as an eyewitness; cited in Uri Davis, Apartheid Israel, 2003.

‘One Friday night in September 1967 … we were left alone by our officers, who drove into Jerusalem for their night off. An elderly Palestinian man, who had been arrested on the road while carrying a large sum in American dollars, was taken into the interrogation room. While standing outside the building on security detail, I was startled by terrifying screams coming from within. I ran inside, climbed onto a crate, and, through the window observed the prisoner tied to a chair as my good friends beat him all over his body and burned his arms with lit cigarettes. I climbed down from the post, vomited, and returned to my post, frightening and shaking. About an hour later, a pickup truck carrying the body of the “rich” old man pulled out of the station, and my friends informed me they were driving to the Jordan River to get rid of him.’

Sand himself, in The Invention of the Land of Israel

‘“We take the land first and the law comes after” [claimed Yehoshafat Palmon, Arab affairs adviser to the Mayor of Jerusalem to the author]. ‘The law comes after …’. In fact, for most Arabs it did not come at all.’..."

There is no ethnic cleansing of Palestine, as there is or was no country by that name at any time in history despite what any left wing media outlet may claim.
It's only a region always controlled by other empires.
There is however some serious Hamas ethnic  cleansing in Gaza going on.
In this we should all rejoice.

There is very little scholarly disagreement over the fact that there was a deliberate policy of ethnic cleansing during the 1948 war. In fact the writing was on the wall years before the war in the pronouncements and threats by top zionist leaders including Ben-Gurion himself - who is on record as saying the UN partition plan would merely be a stepping stone to grabbing the entire area of "greater Israel".

Lord Curzon - British Foreign Office - wrote in 1918:

Quote:
You have only to read, as probably most of us do, their periodical 'Palestine', and, indeed, their pronouncements in the papers, to see that their programme is expanding from day to day. They now talk about a Jewish State. The Arab portion of the population is well-nigh forgotten and is to be ignored. They not only claim the boundaries of the old Palestine, but they claim to spread across the Jordan into the rich countries lying to the east, and, indeed, there seems to be very small limit to the aspirations which they now form.

Typical Hasbara tactic by Freediver facetiously asking for detail to try to divert the argument.

Taking Deir Yassin as an example. Jews first machine gunned the village and then lined up 90 survivors and then shot them. Deir Yassin was one of 50 villages ethnically cleansed. If you extrapolated just the machine gunned survivors (90) over 50 villages you get at least 4500 muslim civilians murdered by massacre. Could easily be more than double that because the tactic was to machine gun the village before lining up and machine gunning the survivors who had not run away.

There is a bountiful supply of evidence on the internet including Jewish authors who are appalled by the atrocities committed by the Jews.

http://www.seamac.org/EthnicCleansing.htm

"...Massacres played an instrumental role in inducing the indigenous Palestinian population to flee. The most infamous of these massacres occurred in the village of Deir Yassin in April 1948, about a month after the adoption of Plan D. There the Zionist paramilitary forces known as the Irgun and Stern Gang attacked the village despite a previous nonaggression pact reached by village leaders with the Haganah. According to Israeli historian Ilan Pappe, the village was designated for destruction under Plan D but because of the nonaggression pact, the Haganah sent in the Irgun and Stern Gang to “absolve themselves from any official accountability.” (The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, p. 90.) The village was first sprayed with machine-gun fire. Many who survived this attack were then lined up and executed in cold-blood, including women, children, and infants—more than 90 people in all. News of the Deir Yassin massacre, which reportedly included the rape of Arab women, spread rapidly throughout Palestine. The Haganah’s Intelligence Services later described it as “a decisive accelerating factor” in the flight of the Palestinians. (“The Causes and Character of the Arab Exodus from Palestine” by Benny Morris, included in The Israel/Palestine Question, ed. Ilan Pappe, Routledge, 1999, p. 199, paperback edition.)..."

Relatively few. Estimates are around 11000 deaths outside combat:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_casualties_of_war

The most effective ethnic cleansings are done with minimal casualties. You just need the fear of slaughter created by one or two actual massacres like Deir Yassin, rather than too much wholesale slaughter to make the population compliant.

As for the ethnic cleansing, Israeli historian Benny Morris categorises the exodus into 4 waves - of which two (waves 3 and 4 - exodus of 300-330 thousand people) were specific expulsion operations. Approximately half of these were clearing of the two major centres Lydda and Ramle over just 3 days.

Tell me about it. I know whenever I want to wipe out an entire race, I try to avoid killing anyone. You know how judgemental people can get over that sort of thing.

Good point. Another cunning strategy I like to use is allowing them to live peacefully among us.

...

I am doing a bit of ethnic cleansing right now, but so far no-one has noticed what I am up to. Better get LTYC onto it...

'Hamas' is a moslem organisation, made up of moslem cadres, being an 'irregular' moslem militant organisation, dedicated to 'eliminating' Allah's enemies.


Dictionary;
Muslim = = a follower of Islam.


EVERY moslem, is a follower - of ISLAM.

EVERY moslem, is a member of the moslem community.

And whether the moslem refers to himself as being a member of,
Hamas,
or the Taliban,
or Al-Qaeda,
or Boko Haram,
or ISIS,
or Al Shabaab,
or [in Australia] Brothers for Life,

OR SIMPLY, AS BEING A, MOSLEM;

....the moslem is the member of 'a group of people' who choose to follow a philosophy [ISLAM], which teaches them [moslems], that it is lawful for them [moslems] to seek to subjugate [i.e. enslave] or murder all of 'disbelieving' mankind.





Quote:

Here, for example, are two very illuminating passages from the canonical Life of Mohammed by Ibn Ishaq, as translated by A. Guillaume, and a third passage, from the earliest known Muslim historian.

Ishaq: 204 - "'Men, do you know what you are pledging yourselves to in swearing allegiance to this man [Muhammad]?' 'Yes. In swearing allegiance to him we are pledging to wage war against all mankind.'"

Ishaq:231 - "Muslims are one ummah (community) to the exclusion of all men. Believers are friends of one another to the exclusion of all outsiders."

And here is Al-Tabari, a very early Muslim historian, in book 9, chapter or section 69, reporting words that Muslims believe to have been said by Mohammed himself - "Killing infidels is a small matter to us".

These texts are not fossils from a distant past. They are not dead letters. They are still 'live' and carry tremendous weight in the imagination and practice of many Muslims around the world.
...DDA

'Hamas' is a militant moslem organisation which is - at this time, July/August 2014 - engaged in 'Jihad operations' against the State of Israel.



Jihad
= = religious fighting in Allah's cause

"Jihad is the pinnacle of ISLAM."

....is a refrain often declared among moslems

The Gazan people are fighting oppression and occupation. There would be no wars if the Israelis did not occupy and treat Gaza as a concentration camp and shoot and bomb nearly every day of Gaza's existence.

Israelis love killing Palestinians and have done so since the creation of Israel by bloodbath.

Of course there would be wars. Hamas is dedicated to wiping out Israel. It is in their charter.

LTYC
you are a moron.

Israel could finish the ethnic cleansing by lunchtime if they wanted.
At the rate they have been conducting ethnic cleansing since 1948, they are going awfully slowly.

I would urge them to speed up the cleansing of terrorists and this time , get rid of every last one of them

You cant leave one militant behind as they infect your lands like weeds.

We have a saying in the farming community
1 years weed, 7 years seed.

Its is so much simpler to go in hard and go in early when you face a weed infestation.
The longer you leave it, the more your pasture suffers.
You spray the Round Up and kill a lot of innocent plants growing nearby.
But it doesn't matter, once you have erased every last skeric of the filthy weed, a new lush pasture will emerge.
the other method is to just conduct a tactical burn.
Burn the pasture completely and kill everything and then new pasture will emerge from the fields like a phoenix.
In some ways , a desperate farmer will often turn to this. The Palestinians had better hope a desperate Israel does not adopt this policy. Wink
