al-Nakba: the Palestinian "Catastrophe"
Ironic, how quickly innocent victims can become ruthless victimizers

FROM: http://www.al-nakba-history.com/origins1948.html



On May 14, 1948, Israel declared itself a new, independent state, and was soon thereafter attacked by assembled forces of the Arab world determined to destroy this proud, determined newcomer to the region -- or so the legend has been perpetuated for some 65 years, propelled by the best-selling 1958 Leon Uris novel, Exodus, said to have originated as a PR effort to glamorize Israel and sanitize its dishonorable establishment. This was soon followed in 1960 by the Otto Preminger film that spread the myth to a much larger audience and simplified it further into essentially a cowboys and Indians tale.

Whether deliberate or inadvertent, the widespread appeal of this film may well reflect its close correspondence with America's own ethnic cleansing of our indigenous population and its whitewashed reversal of heroes and villains, where Zionism and Manifest Destiny are companion ideologies, and Israeli "settlers" match American "pioneers."



But a few salient facts have been conspicuously omitted from the legend.
Three Zionist terror groups (as designated by the United Nations) systematically planned and executed the expulsion of the Palestinians, who owned 93% of Palestine in 1947. This ethnic cleansing operation had been prepared over the preceding year, ready for implementation when perceived necessary to drive out the indigenous Arab population and seize their land and properties once the British adminstrative authority was gone.

These terrorist "militias" had ethnically cleansed a third of the Palestinian population before the British departed in May 1948 and by the end of 1948 had driven over 3/4 million Palestinians into 59 refugee camps hastily constructed to accommodate them by UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency), newly created to respond to what Palestinians called their "catastrophe" - al Nakba.
Scattered Arab forces intervened after the British withdrawal, but were no match for the well-organized, well-armed and well-funded Zionist militias now merged into the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). Since most Arab countries had recently emerged from post-WWI mandates under British or French administration, the only credible Arab army was the Arab Legion of Transjordan which the Zionists co-opted by allowing them Judea and Samaria (now the West Bank) in exchange for their non-intervention in the rest of Palestine.

By the end of the ethnic cleansing campaign, the Zionists had destroyed and/or depopulated 531 Arab villages and eleven urban areas, and had committed 33 documented massacres which killed some 13,000 largely defenseless Arabs. In an article three decades later for The American Zionist, Mordechai Nisan of the Truman Research Centre of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem wrote, “Without terror it is unlikely that Jewish independence would have been achieved when it was.”

Reports of these massacres terrorized other Arab villages into fleeing their homes in the path of approaching Jewish forces. Palestinian leaders, when unable to protect the villages, sometimes advised the residents to flee. This has been used by Zionist propagandists to claim that the Palestinians left voluntarily or unnecessarily upon direction by their leaders.

Israeli historian Ilan Pappe has declared that "catastrophe" is the wrong term with its connotations of natural disaster. Rather, he clearly identifies these acts as crimes against humanity.

Following these atrocities, some Jews who had lived in peace with Arabs for centuries throughout the Middle East and who had found refuge in Arab communities from Christian persecution in Europe, were expelled from Arab communities since their Arab neighbors suddenly feared them after what happened in Palestine. This has been used by Zionist propagandists to imply that some sort of balanced population exchange occurred and invalidate the Palestinian right of return. Most of these Jewish immigrants to Israel were in fact recruited by Zionism and motivated by incentives and subsidies offered by the new state rather than escape from Arab persecution. Notably large Jewish populations immigrated to Israel from Morrocco and Yemen in response to Israeli invitations and incentives. Jewish exodus from North Africa was also motivated by contemporaneous upheavals in the region against post-war French efforts to re-establish its colonies, especially in Algeria.

This "ingathering" was actively encouraged by false flag attacks committed by the Mossad to frighten Jews in Egypt and Iraq into seeking refuge in Israel.
