Ethnic cleansing

Yes, I see references to moving them. Not killing them. HUUUUUUGE difference...don't you think?
No I don't think you're remotely correct...Moving them Geographically constitutes Ethnic Cleansing according to all definition, don't you think?







That is certainly not the recognized definition.

Ethnic cleansing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic or religious groups from a given territory by a more powerful ethnic group, with the intent of making it ethnically homogeneous.[1] The forces applied may be various forms of forced migration (deportation, population transfer), intimidation, as well as mass murder.

Ethnic cleansing is usually accompanied with the efforts to remove physical and cultural evidence of the targeted group in the territory through the destruction of homes, social centers, farms, and infrastructure, and by the desecration of monuments, cemeteries, and places of worship.









Are there no Palestinians in Israel? Show me an area that has none.
Soon to be the desert.









You haven't shown where there are no Palestinians in Israel. I can show you huge swaths of land where there is no other religious group to be seen except for various Islamic factions. Is that bad? Is that ethnic cleansing? Is it proper that Muslims kill off the Christians in their areas as ISIS is doing? Is that OK?

It isn't? It's OK for the Muslims to ethnically cleanse but it's not OK for the Israelis to try and defend themselves, even though they aren't even coming close to doing what you claim. Is that what you are wishing to have us believe?
 
It isn't ok for Jews or Muslims to ethnically cleanse those of another religion in order to maintain control of a country or region.

Did you read the article that goes with this video. They are illegal settlements and the people are illegal squatters so they are evicted from the stolen land. Not like the Palestinians in 1949 who forcibly evicted Jews from land they had bought and held title to. No comment on that breach of the Jews rights

They did not have the means or authority to do anything.

Read the accounts of the evictions of Jews from the west bank and you will see it was Palestinians doing it, and they have been armed since islam was invented. It was the Jews and Christians that were unarmed until they migrated in the 1800's and started to defend themselves against Islamic violence and terrorism.

The Ilan Pappa book, “The 1948 Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” has become the holy grail for pro-Palestinians who grab the notion of Ethnic Cleansing as a the Palestinian complaint of the day.

It is only 60 Miles from Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean Coast to Jericho and the nearby Jordan River (four hour drive at the snail pace of 15 miles an hour). The importance of this, is that if you draw an arch, 75 miles out - on center with Tel Aviv, you will be beyond the Forward Edge of the Battle Area (FEBA) on which the Green Line was drawn. That means that the Jewish militia could not have forcibly deported any Arabs outside the Territory to which the Mandate Applied.

"Deportation or forcible transfer of population" means forced displacement of the persons concerned by expulsion or other coercive acts from the area in which they are lawfully present, without grounds permitted under international law; Article 7(2d) ICC Rome Statutes.

Professor Pappe is very dramatic in his dissertation: quite good, well worth the time spent reading. It starts off with:


ON A COLD WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON , 10 March 1948, a group of eleven men, veteran Zionist leaders together with young military Jewish officers, put the final
touches on a plan for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. That same evening, military orders were dispatched to units on the ground to prepare for the systematic expulsion of Palestinians from vast areas of the country. The orders came with a detailed description of the methods to be used to forcibly evict the people: large-scale intimidation; laying siege to and bombarding villages and population centers; setting fire to homes, properties, and goods; expelling residents; demolishing homes; and, finally, planting mines in the rubble to prevent the expelled inhabitants from returning. Each unit was issued its own list of villages and neighborhoods to target in keeping with the master plan. Code-named Plan D (Dalet in Hebrew), this was the fourth and final version of vaguer plans outlining the fate that was in store for the native population of Palestine. The previous three plans had articulated only obscurely how the Zionist leadership intended to deal with the presence of so many Palestinians on the land the Jewish national movement wanted for itself.​

Professor Pappa is also a principle advocate that Israel should be compare to South Africa; forwarding the notion of “Apartheid.”

There is no "ethnic Cleansing? What are you an idiot?

Although there is no legal definition of ethnic cleansing, from its widely accepted non-technical definition [23] , it is possible to deduce some common elements. Firstly, what can be considered as a subjective element of ethnic cleansing is the fact that it is systematically carried out with a clear intent to create an ethnically homogeneous area by removing another group of people from their own territory by using force or intimidation or any other method. Secondly, the objective element of ethnic cleansing is that it is perpetrated against a particular group of people, according to their racial, ethnic, national, religious or other characteristics, which involves mass deportations or forceful transfer of people, intimidations by different methods, murder, torture, arbitrary detention, etc.​

Ethnic cleansing is not about numbers. It is about location. It is about moving people out of areas where they are not wanted. Israel does commit the violations listed above.

House demolitions and forced evictions are
among Israel’s most heinous practices in the
Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). In
2011, a record year of displacement, a total of
622 Palestinian structures were demolished by
Israeli authorities, of which 36% (or 222) were
family homes; the remainder were livelihood-
related (including water storage and agricultural
structures), resulting in 1,094 people displaced,
almost double the number for 2010.

http://icahdusa.org/multimedia/downloads/2012/04/Judaization-of-Palestine.pdf

Of course similar practices have been carried out in "Israel proper" since 1948 and they continue to today.
(COMMENT)

Professor Pappa, a notable pro-Palestinian, was thought to have moved from Israel to England under the shadow of death threats; which many believe were a publicity invention to boost book sales for his controversial books that had little appreciation in Israel; and to expand the potential for more paying anti-Israeli speaking engagements.

"But, I'm a historian, and this is the truth the way I see it: The story of a victim and a victimizer. And the victim is the Palestinians. Without idealizing the Palestinians -victims are not necessarily nice people, but they are still victims."

Professor Pappe defines “Ethnic Cleansing” by saying that: “the U.S. State Department defines the term as “the systematic and forced removal of the members of an ethnic group from communities in order to change the ethnic composition of a given region.” The report goes on to document numerous cases, including the depopulation within twenty-four hours of the western Kosovar town of Pec in spring 1999.” The report he refers to is the Ethnic Cleansing in Kosovo: An Accounting, Prepared by the U.S. Department of State, 1999. And while the Report did say that the Serbian forces and paramilitaries implemented a systematic campaign to ethnically cleanse Kosovo—aspects of this campaign include Forcible Displacement of Kosovar Albanian Civilians; the Professor missed the part where the Report Said: ICTY Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte told the U.N. Security Council that her office had received reports of more than 11,000 killed in 529 reported mass grave and killing sites in Kosovo. The Prosecutor said her office had exhumed 2,108 bodies from 195 of the 529 known mass graves. This would imply about 6,000 bodies in mass graves in Kosovo if the 334 mass graves not examined thus far contain the same average number of victims.

In fairness, the US State Department Report did say that Over 1.5 million Kosovar Albanians—at least 90 percent of the estimated 1998 Kosovar Albanian population of Kosovo—were forcibly expelled from their homes. Tens of thousands of homes in at least 1,200 cities, towns, and villages have been damaged or destroyed. During the conflict, Serbian forces and paramilitaries implemented a systematic campaign to ethnically cleanse Kosovo—aspects of this campaign include the following:


• Looting of Homes and Businesses
• Widespread Burning of Homes
• Use of Human Shields
• Detentions
• Summary Executions
• Exhumation of Mass Graves
• Rape
• Violations of Medical Neutrality
• Identity Cleansing

There is very little questions that somewhere in the neighborhood of 700,000 Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) were displaced prior the Declaration of Independence. But, “Ethnic Cleansing” (as our friend P F Tinmore” points out) is nor than just the numbers. And, of course, there probably were some displaced to in order to change the ethnic composition of a given region, not all of the displaced HoAP were for that single purpose. Some were voluntarily moved at the recommendation of the Arab League, some were removed from various vicinities and locations in anticipation of military operations (Customary IHL), and some were removed to provide the Israelis rear area protection (an essential military need).

Yes, I have to agree that in any War of Independence between two factions of a common population [(Arabs ‘vs’ Jews)(Citizens of the Palestine Government under Mandate)] have probably violated some customary IHL at one point or another during the course of a near century old dispute that started with the Balfour Declaration (1917). And the magnitude of the questionable events comes nowhere near that of the Holocaust, South Sudanese conflict, Central African Republic conflict. or the issue with the Armenians during World War I.

Professor Ilan Pappa’s most important crutch is the statement written by David Ben-Gurion, from the 1937 letter to his son that said: “The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war.” The letter is quite famous and is sighted over and over again as it is authentication that there was an “official program” --- Plan D (Dalet); as if it could not possibly be a personal idea, unique to him. What needs to be uncover is the evidence of a conspiracy within the ruling elite. And even that, would not change history, or rollback the effects. No one is going to hand a Jihadist and Fedayeen group (or any other radicalized Islamic group), which has no history of success in government, a country when there is no reasonable expectation that they would successfully develop the country further and grant the same level of freedoms and protection to the Jewish People as they enjoy now.

Most Respectfully,
R

Thank goodness that there are source documents around. The Plan Dalet was an official policy and tactic to achieve the strategic solution of eliminating the non-Jews from 55% of the land of Palestine. As far as who was responsible for the ethnic cleansing the Israelis themselves explain:

"a report prepared by the intelligence services of the Israeli army, dated 30 June 1948 and entitled “The emigration of Palestinian Arabs in the period 1/12/1947-1/6/1948”. This document sets at 391,000 the number of Palestinians who had already left the territory that was by then in the hands of Israel, and evaluates the various factors that had prompted their decisions to leave. “At least 55% of the total of the exodus was caused by our (Haganah/IDF) operations.” To this figure, the report’s compilers add the operations of the Irgun and Lehi, which “directly (caused) some 15%... of the emigration”. A further 2% was attributed to explicit expulsion orders issued by Israeli troops, and 1% to their psychological warfare. This leads to a figure of 73% for departures caused directly by the Israelis. In addition, the report attributes 22% of the departures to “fears” and “a crisis of confidence” affecting the Palestinian population. As for Arab calls for flight, these were reckoned to be significant in only 5% of cases..."

So again - the reason that the Palestinians are still homeless in Holy Land after 65 years is not because they've chosen faulty leadership -- not because that leadership became more well known for hijacking Airlines and getting tossed out of Jordan and Lebanon, then for nation-building -- not because when they had a chance to have a real representative govt and statemanship, they chose to war with each and kill each other in the WBank and Gaza -- not because they continue to irritate and attack Israel with ineffective methods for 65 years ---------

But it's all Israel's fault for getting on with life when then there is not a respectable partner to negotiate with on the settlement of the "occupation".. Can't wait forever for that chance to discuss terms. And if you insist on getting Pali kids killed endlessly in futile Intifadas -- instead of becoming Zionists with a passion for a Homeland -- those chances are just gonna slip away and die..

Secondly, the objective element of ethnic cleansing is that it is perpetrated against a particular group of people, according to their racial, ethnic, national, religious or other characteristics, which involves mass deportations or forceful transfer of people, intimidations by different methods, murder, torture, arbitrary detention, etc.​

Ethnic cleansing is not about numbers. It is about location. It is about moving people out of areas where they are not wanted. Israel does commit the violations listed above.

House demolitions and forced evictions are
among Israel’s most heinous practices in the
Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). In
2011, a record year of displacement, a total of
622 Palestinian structures were demolished by
Israeli authorities, of which 36% (or 222) were
family homes; the remainder were livelihood-
related (including water storage and agricultural
structures), resulting in 1,094 people displaced,
almost double the number for 2010.

Of course similar practices have been carried out in "Israel proper" since 1948 and they continue to today.

So again - the reason that the Palestinians are still homeless in Holy Land after 65 years is not because they've chosen faulty leadership -- not because that leadership became more well known for hijacking Airlines and getting tossed out of Jordan and Lebanon, then for nation-building -- not because when they had a chance to have a real representative govt and statemanship, they chose to war with each and kill each other in the WBank and Gaza -- not because they continue to irritate and attack Israel with ineffective methods for 65 years ---------

But it's all Israel's fault for getting on with life when then there is not a respectable partner to negotiate with on the settlement of the "occupation".. Can't wait forever for that chance to discuss terms. And if you insist on getting Pali kids killed endlessly in futile Intifadas -- instead of becoming Zionists with a passion for a Homeland -- those chances are just gonna slip away and die..

The fact that a large group of Europeans colonized an area of the Middle East has nothing to do with it?

There is no "ethnic Cleansing? What are you an idiot?

Deflection.

None of that has anything to do with Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.





What ethnic cleansing of Palestinians as they are mostly in Palestine and are increasing in numbers. They chose not to be Israeli citizens so they had to leave under international law of the time. They have been offered Israeli citizenship many times since and have refused because they would have to give up violence and terrorism. The only ethnic clransing taking place is that of the Christians by the Palestinians, this has resulted in a 90% reduction in the Christian population over the last 7 years. At the same time the Christian population of Israel has increased over and above natural means.

Now produce one factual link that does not rely on twisted criteria to show that the Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed from Palestine. When the evidence shows they are moving away voluntarily to escape the brutal hamas/fatah regimes. This is why hamas has stopped all migration out of gaza before the population drops too far and they cant get the human shields needed.
 
There were less than 400K Jews in Israel in 1948, now there are over 6 million. The Jews increased at three times the Palestinian rate. What happened?

Success vs. failure.

Yes, ethnic cleansing does promote failure among the cleansed. Thanks.
The silly ethnic cleansing™ slogan peddled by an identifiable few, really self-hating islamists, has never been moved beyond silly slogan status.
