The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine - Ilan Pappé (2006)

[girlactionfigure]

_j0sh_a_

A few weeks ago, someone commented on my JVP “white European pine trees” video, that his village, Dyr Ayyub, was “one of the first to be ethnically cleansed and covered with forest”. Turns out, the poor villagers of Dyr Ayyub tried to kill each and every Jew driving up to Jerusalem. For example the murder of Yona Resin in December 1947. Despite the fact It was used as a base for the Jordanian Arab legion, in 1949 Israel has offered the residents of Dyr Ayyub to return and get Israeli citizenship (just like other villagers who returned to their homes, for example: the wadi Ara agreement, or villagers of Abu gosh) but the offer was declined (like other cases). Classic case of FAFO, and never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

ISRAEL VS PALESTINE

So first let's talk about what is happening between israel vs palestine

Early in October 2023, Israel and Hamas, the militant Islamist organization in charge of Gaza since 2006, went to war. Along with murdering and injuring hundreds of soldiers and civilians, Hamas fighters invaded southern Israeli cities and villages across the Gaza Strip border and fired rockets into Israel. They also took scores of hostages. Israel was caught off guard by the strike, but it soon launched a lethal counterattack. The Israeli cabinet officially declared war on Hamas the day after the attack on October 7, and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were then given orders by the defense minister to impose a "complete siege" on Gaza. Since then, Israel has ordered the evacuation of over a million Palestinian inhabitants, and the two sides have engaged in regular rocket exchanges.

Religion

ISRAEL

As of 2018, the vast majority of Israelis (74.3%) identify as Jewish, with Muslims (17.8%), Christians (1.9%), Druze (1.6%), and people of other religions (4.4%) following closely behind. Israel is the only nation where the majority of people identify as Jewish. Israel is home to a variety of Christian and Jewish faiths, while the majority of Muslims identify with the Sunni tradition. Israel is home to about 41% of the world's Jewish population. It is rare for members of Israel's major religions to convert; instead, individuals who identify as Jews, Muslims, Christians, or Druze almost always stick with the faith they were raised in.

https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/israeli-culture/israeli-culture-religion

PALESTINE

All Palestinians, including those who reside abroad, are Muslims. On an identification card issued by the Israeli government, every resident of the Palestinian Territories must indicate their religion. This document states that 98% of Palestinians identify as Sunni Muslims.1 Christianity is the main minority religion, with an estimated 52,000 Palestinian Christians thought to have resided in the occupied territories as of 2013.2 It is also believed that the number of religiously unaffiliated Palestinians (i.e. atheist or agnostic) in the West Bank and Gaza is very small.

BORDER

ISRAEL / PALESTINE

The Green Line, which technically divides Israel from the West Bank and was also established during the 1949 Rhodes Armistice Talks, which were held between Israel and Jordan, is commonly viewed as the default border between Israel and a future Palestinian state. The border, which was the first official political division of land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, was superimposed onto the landscape and reflected the outcome of the war. Some adjustments were also made, particularly in the Wadi Ara region to allow Israel to maintain a territorial link between the coastal towns and Afula.

TERRITORY

ISRAEL

The West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip are included in the Occupied Territories, which are under the legal control of Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), with much of the region being under both parties' purview. Violence between Palestinians and Israeli security forces continued in Israel, Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank. The PA Basic Law, which serves as an interim constitution, declares Islam as the official religion but asks for respect of "all other divine religions." In the course of the year, attacks outside the Green Line in Jerusalem, Gaza, and the West Bank claimed the lives of 91 Palestinians and eight Israelis.

https://www.state.gov/reports/2016-report-on-international-religious-freedom/israel-and-the-occupied-territories/israel-and-the-occupied-territories-the-occupied-territories/

PALESTINE

The West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem, and Gaza make up the OPT. In the OPT, there are about 4.5 million Palestinians (2.7 million in the West Bank and 1.8 million in Gaza). In order for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be realized, a sovereign and unified Palestinian state based on the pre-June 1967 lines (the borders that existed before Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza in June 1967) would be established on this territory, with East Jerusalem serving as its capital.

RESOURCES

ISRAEL

Potash, bromine, and magnesium are examples of mineral resources; the latter two come from the Dead Sea's waters. Phosphates and trace amounts of gypsum are found in the Negev, copper ore is found in the arava, and minor marble is found in Galilee. Small oil resources have been discovered in the northern Negev and south of Tel Aviv since Israel started limited petroleum exploration in the 1950s. In addition, the nation has natural gas reserves offshore in the Mediterranean and in the northern Negev, northeast of Beersheba.

https://www.britannica.com/place/Israel/Economy

PALESTINE

Natural resources abound throughout historic Palestine, including fresh and ground water, arable land, and wildlife. land and, more recently, natural gas and oil. Seven decades have passed since Israel's founding as a nation. These resources have been misused and corrupted in a number of ways. These include common Land theft by the Palestinians during the ongoing Nakba, water exploitation as a result of failed negotiations, and a When gas or oil is discovered in or under occupied land, finders-keepers law applies.

ORIGIN OF THE PEOPLE

ISRAEL

Abraham founded the idea that there is just one God, the universe's creator, which is where the people of Israel (also known as the "Jewish People") derive from (see Torah). The patriarchs of the Israelites are described as Abraham, his son Yitshak (Isaac), and his great-grandson Jacob (Israel).

https://www.science.co.il/israel-history/#:~:text=The%20people%20of%20Israel%20(also,the%20patriarchs%20of%20the%20Israelites.

PALESTINE

The enormous political changes and battles that brought this tiny territory to the attention of the world have had a significant impact on the social geography of modern Palestine, particularly the region west of the Jordan River. Israeli Jews made up nearly half of the population west of the Jordan at the beginning of the twenty-first century, with Palestinian Arabs (Muslim, Christian, and Druze) and other smaller minorities making up the remainder. Despite the fact that millions of immigrants have come since the State of Israel's inception in 1948, the Jewish population is becoming more and more made up of people who were born in Israel. The majority of the Arab population is descended from Arabs who resided in the region for many centuries before the mandate period and during it.

NOVA MUSIC FESTIVAL

One of the initial targets of the historic Hamas ground invasion into Israel was the music festival. It might also be the most lethal. Israel's search and rescue group estimated that there had been at least 260 fatalities.

Additionally, militants carried out raids on neighboring settlements, killing and kidnapping locals—in some cases, entire families—while moving from house to house. More than a full day after the assault started on Sunday afternoon, the Israeli force was still fighting Gaza militants in various locations. Seven hundred people lost their lives in Israel, and more than three hundred more were left critically or badly injured. Israeli airstrikes on Gaza has resulted in about 400 Palestinian deaths.

ARE YOU A PRO ISRAEL OR PRO PALESTINE?

I'm a pro israel because first of all hamas people are the one who attached first and there are many theories that hamas or other militant people at palestine are kidnapping people specially girls to undergo terrible experience such as rape, abuse and many more.

[exhaustedace]

A Non-Exhaustive List of Criticisms of Israel that are Not Antisemitic, Written by a Jew

- Israel is a Jewish Majority country that was once attacked on Yom Kippur, and remembers the horror of being attacked on a major holiday when the much of the population was fasting. It should then have empathy not to attack Muslim majority countries during Ramadan. 

- Dropping pamphlets/calling homes of Palestinian civilians prior to launching rockets is not enough, especially with how absolutely packed the neighborhoods are.

- Retaliation of rockets vs rockets is not equivalent when your country has a security system defending itself against the rockets, as well as a much more developed medical system when people are inevitably harmed.

- Being forced into the military at 18 is not okay. What is worse, is actively denying people into the military who are in their early-mid 20s. That says that you want people in your military who dont yet know how to think for themselves, and haven't developed the ability to process long term consequences to their actions.

- You cannot condemn Hamas and simultaneously ignore the fact that you have had prime ministers who were literal gangsters and terrorists. 

- Netanyahu is awful and is doing everything not to give up power. He keeps pandering to extremists in his country who do not want a peaceful solution. He needs to leave office. 

- Your police, who have a history of violence towards your own people, should not be getting involved in these incidents, as it leads to escalation and more death.

As of now there have been 28 Palestinians and 2 Israelis killed, and numerous injured in the rocketfire.

This does not include the counts from the raid on the mosque, or the protests for Sheikh Jarrah. This does not include any counts on the protest riots in Lob, Jaffa, Wadi Ara, Madj al-Krum, and more.

Afterlife snack: Jar of toads popped open in 4,000-year-old Canaanite tomb dig

A 4,000-year-old Canaanite “burial kit” has been found in Jerusalem that includes an afterlife snack pack of nine decapitated toads. Discovered in a salvage excavation near Jerusalem’s Biblical zoo, a set of intact jars and their contents shed new light on funerary rites of the Middle Bronze period — and give a window into an ancient recipe for toad.

The dig’s co-director, Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologist Shua Kisilevitz, told The Times of Israel on Monday that while food offerings in burials are typical of the Bronze Age, “finding toads is pretty unusual,” she said. “To the best of my knowledge, the only other place in Israel with toad find was in Wadi Ara, and dates to the Late Bronze Age.”

Generally, she said, excavators discover entire vessels filled with food which, it is thought, the deceased may need to get to the afterlife. The rare discovery of the toad bones, found in a jar placed in one of 67 man-made shaft tombs in a Middle Bronze cemetery located between the zoo and a nearby shopping mall, indicates it was part of the local settlers’ diet.

Opinion // Donald Trump Wants to Revoke My Citizenship. Because I'm an Arab

Trump’s Mideast plan pushes the hard right dream of population transfer: the involuntary revocation of Israeli citizenship for 300,000 people. We, the Arab minority, had no say

— Dr. Anwar Mhajne | Haaretz | February 12, 2020

'The White House endorses revoking the citizenship of 300,000 inhabitants of Israel's Arab communities': US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House, Feb 11, 2020

President Donald Trump wants to revoke my citizenship. Because I am an Arab.

No, not in the United States, but in Israel. His Mideast "Deal of the Century" endorses an exchange: Multiple Arab towns in northern Israel would come under the writ of a future Palestinian state, and in exchange, Israel would annex Jewish settlements situated in the Palestinian territories.

This dry description doesn’t do the idea justice. This is what it really is: A population transfer conducted without any consultation with the people affected. A policy position based on ignorance about the complex layers of identity of Arab citizens of Israel, already targets of incitement and racism by Israel’s right-wing. And a legitimation of the hard right aspiration towards an homogenously Jewish Israel, where minorities are conditional guests and whose citizenship is not equal in origin or rights.

Those Arab towns are situated in what is known as the "Triangle," a region with an Arab majority bordering the northwest corner of the West Bank. For the Israeli establishment, that Arab population is a demographic threat to the Jewish nature of the Israeli state, together with general anxieties about the high birth rate among Arab families in Israel and Palestine.

The Trump plan "contemplates the possibility, subject to agreement of the parties that the borders of Israel will be redrawn such that the Triangle Communities become part of the State of Palestine…the civil rights of the residents...would be subject to the applicable laws and judicial rulings of the relevant authorities."

The plan "explains" that, since the security concerns prompting Israel to acquire these Arab communities in 1949 have since been resolved, these communities could now be passed on to a future Palestinian state. "These communities, which largely self-identify as Palestinian, were originally designated to fall under Jordanian control during the negotiations of the Armistice Line of 1949, but ultimately were retained by Israel for military reasons that have since been mitigated."

The White House is giving a rationale for revoking the Israeli citizenship of the 300,000 inhabitants in these communities - myself included. Who would decide the fate of these communities? There is no mechanism mentioned to gauge grassroots Arab opinion. Would there be a localized referendum? Or would it be left to the Israeli and U.S. administrations to "benevolently" decide the fate and citizenship status of a quarter of a million citizens of Israel?

Removing our agency is only one aspect of Trump’s plan. Another is the superficial and ignorant foundations on which the "analysis" the Arab communities in Israel are based, not least, the blanket statement that we "largely self-identify as Palestinian."

We, the Arab citizens of Israel, are the Palestinians who remained under Israeli rule after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. We represent about 21 percent of the entire Israeli population. Generally, our national, cultural, and civic identities coexist separately. Our Palestinian identity is foremost in relation to ideological, cultural, and religious issues; our Israeli identity is tied to our civic status, political engagement, work, and education. Arab citizens have historically operated within the Israeli political system to address their issues and concerns.

Ayman Odeh poses with supporters during a campaign rally for the Joint List in the Arab town of Kafr Yasif in northern Israel, August 23, 2019.

And contradicting the Trump plan’s claim, recent polls show that more members of these communities now self-identify as Arab, or Arab Israeli, rather than Palestinian.

The idea of revoking the citizenship of thousands of Arab citizens is not new, but rather a continuation of Israel’s discriminatory and alienating policies, and of right-wing incitement against the community. Those policies include the Jewish Nation-State Law, which practically and symbolically institutionalized the primacy of Jewish Israelis and the Hebrew language. Since 1948, we, the Arab minority, have been targeted by unfair laws, budgeting and planning, land confiscations, surveillance and political suppression.

Benjamin Netanyahu and his associates have a long history of inciting mistrust against Arab citizens and their representatives. The prime minister has frequently and groundlessly labelled Arab Knesset members as terrorists and collaborators to galvanize his right-wing base.

And this isn’t the first time that Israel’s right-wing has mooted the idea of a land and population swap. In 2014, serving as foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, the head of Yisrael Beitenu Party, promoted a plan to transfer various Israeli Arab towns to the jurisdiction of a future Palestinian state, a riff on a theme he'd already been pushing for a decade. In 2017, Netanyahu repeated that proposal in front of Trump’s senior advisor Jared Kushner and Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt- two key architects of the Trump peace plan.

As Israel prepares for a third round of national elections, incitement against the Arab community in Israel is spiking again. Both the Likud’s Netanyahu and former military chief and Kachol Lavan head Benny Gantz have serially failed to secure the 61-seat threshold needed for a governing coalition.

Simultaneously, Arab voters and their representatives have been thrust into the center of the national political debate, with the electoral strength of the Joint List (an alliance of four parties: Hadash, Taal, Balad, and the United Arab List) as a potential kingmaker and third major party – predicted to win 13-14 seats in the 120 seat Knesset.

Cue the pushback and the incitement. At an "emergency rally" held by the Likud in November 2019, Netanyahu declared that a Gantz minority government formed with the help of the Joint List "is an existential threat to the State of Israel…they will celebrate in Tehran, Ramallah and Gaza the way they celebrate after every terror attack. This would be a historic national terror attack on the State of Israel." By portraying Arabs as traitors and supporters of terrorism, Netanyahu delegitimizes any political alliance in which the Joint List has a voice.

He continued in the same vein: "To be dependent on them all the time, especially at the current time, is an enormous danger to Israel and a breach of a kind never seen before in the history of the country."

Arabs in Israel and their leadership have expressed their hostility to the peace plan and all its provisions. They reacted to the idea of being "transferred" out of Israel with anger, doubt and sarcasm. Some labeled it as racist and dangerous – and a transparently expedient attempt to help shore up Netanyahu’s flailing political fortunes.

Dr. Samir Sobhi, mayor of Umm al-Fahm, one of the towns referenced in the Trump plan, responded to the "deal of the century" by affirming the wall-to-wall Palestinian consensus to reject the deal, and further noted that Arabs in Israel refuse to become an "electoral card" in the hands of clandestine deal-making by Netanyahu and Trump. Leaders of the Arab community are actively devising a plan to combat the Triangle transfer proposal.

Arab citizens in Israel and their leaders also have had to contend with hostile questioning about why they oppose the idea of transfer swap if they identify with the Palestinian cause. That, again, is a tendentious reading of our identities. And the repercussions of any such plan go far beyond the issues of identity and ideology, to the very fabric of our lives, and our human rights.

Would we need permits to access the beaches of Haifa and the Dead Sea, places we grew up visiting? How would we maintain our close connections to family members living further within Israel’s 1967 borders? Many of us study and work in cities such as Tel Aviv. What will happen to our jobs and education? The plan foresees a Palestinian state still subject to various forms of Israeli control. So would Israel enforce military rule in our now-Palestinian cities, like it did over Arab villages within Israel from 1948-1966?

I suspect that any forced implementation of this plan would be experienced as another Nakba, a radical disconnection from our access and connection to our land once again.

Trump's Mideast plan is profoundly unAmerican, and against American traditions of democracy and individual rights: it would require accepting Israel’s revocation of the citizenship of thousands of its citizens without consulting them, and the targeting of a group of people for their ethnic and religious identity.

And it would risk violating those international laws concerned with the revocation of citizenship. Article 15(2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights rules that "No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality."

Trump’s peace plan threatens the status of Israel’s Arab population, and fuels right-wing detractors whose delegitimization of equality now has the imprimatur of the president of the United States. But it also opens up a bigger set of queries: Who is worthy of full citizenship and protection under the law?

Both the United States and Israel claim democracy to be an identifying trait and distinguishing set of values. But by marketing a plan that attempts to strip people from their citizenship, it seems that those governing the two countries are comfortable with limiting the basic rights of citizens, granting them only to a select group of people along ethnic and religious lines.This doesn’t sound like democracy to me.

Defense Minister: Boycott Rioting Israeli Arab Cities

(...) During Saturday’s riots in Wadi Ara, stones were thrown at an Egged bus, smashing its windows. The driver was lightly injured by shrapnel and was evacuated to hospital. Two passengers who were lightly injured were treated at the site. Police arrested two suspects, a minor and an adult, both residents of the Israeli Arab town of Arara. The Wadi Ara road was temporarily blocked by rioters and was reopened after police used crowd dispersal measures.

“It wasn’t just throwing stones at buses, there was almost a lynching of one of the journalists,” Minister Liberman said, adding, “The local people are not part of the state. We’ve seen terrorists coming out of there, and [we’ve seen locals] participating in terrorists’ funerals. It’s impossible to demonstrate with Palestinian flags, then receive billions from the state and destroy us from within.”

Liberman said he was calling “on Israeli citizens to boycott Wadi Ara, do not shop in the stores over there, do not consume the services there. Let them feel they are not wanted here. ”

He added that “as part of the final status agreement, they must be part of Ramallah, where they will go to get their Social Security. We [in turn] will annex Ma’aleh Adumim, Giv’at Ze’ev and Ariel. This is the only solution that appears on the horizon.”(...)
