Noam Chomsky and other Israeli's speak about the brutal Israeli occupation.
Let us read what Pappe said about the zionist ethnic cleansing of the palestinians with NUMBERS and facts.
Pappe is an Israeli historian and a senior lecturer at Haifa University, has written a superb account of the Israeli expulsion of the Palestinians from their land in 1948. He says that between 30 March and 15 May 1948, i.e. before any Arab government intervened, Israeli forces seized 200 villages and expelled 250,000 Palestinians.
The Israeli leadership stated, "The principal objective of the operation is the destruction of Arab villages ... the eviction of the villagers."
On 9 April, Israeli forces massacred 93 people, including 30 babies, at Deir Yassin. In Haifa, the Israeli commander ordered, "Kill any Arab you encounter."
Overall, the Zionist forces uprooted more than half Palestine's population, 800,000 people, destroyed 531 villages and emptied eleven urban neighbourhoods of their inhabitants.
Pappe concludes that this was "a clear-cut case of an ethnic cleansing operation, regarded under international law today as a crime against humanity."
