> Palestinians from their homes and land. On May 14, 1948, the British 
> mandate ended and Israel declared its statehood, which the USA 
> immediately recognized. The most infamous massacre codenamed Operation 
> Unity occurred prior to this, on April 9 in Deir Yassin, an Arab 
> village in the international zone on the outskirts of Jerusalem. The 
> British were aware of the ongoing slaughter but did nothing. As 
> expected, this sadistic mass murder of unarmed civilians, including 
> babies and pregnant women, struck great fear throughout Arab 
> communities. This was but one of many atrocities that compelled 
> Palestinians to flee for their lives, as part of the ethnic cleansing 
> operation codenamed Plan Dalet. In combination with a far greater full-
> scale forced removal under the threat of death, Plan D was quite the 
> rousing success for Zionism. Against international law, Israel blocked 
> Palestinians from returning to their rightful land and property and 
> razed the large majority of Arab villages. By May 1949, Israel had 
> created well over 726,000 Palestinian refugees. After Zionism?s ?non-
> racist? ethnic cleansing, fewer than 133,000 non-Jews were left in 
> Israel. Israel had effectively rid itself of at least 85% of its 
> Gentile population, the indigenous Arab Palestinian people who for over 
> 1200 years were the vast majority population in the area that became 
> Israel, and throughout Palestine, until the recent flood of Jewish 
> immigrants in the few years just before the creation of Israel. By 
> confiscating the land and property belonging to the killed and 
> displaced Palestinians, Zionism achieved its dream of a truly Jewish 
> state instead of the UN approved state where almost half the population 
> was non-Jewish and almost all of the land belonged to non-Jews. Under 
> the 1948 UN Resolution 194, the Right of Return of Palestinians, Israel

> It is estimated that one quarter of all Palestinian refugees are not

> Destroyed Palestinian Villages
> 
> Over a month before the founding of Israel and the British withdrawal, 
> Israeli forces started destroying Arab villages. Eight out of thirteen 
> major Zionist military attacks in April 1948 took place within the 
> territory allotted to the Arab state. Upon declaring its statehood, 
> Israel already occupied most Arab cities in Palestine including the 
> Arab quarters in the new international city of Jerusalem and Jaffa in 
> the Arab partition. Israel deliberately instigated the Israeli-Arab war 
> viewing it as an ideal opportunity to expand its boundaries by means of 
> far superior military preparation. Though intermittent fighting had 
> been going on between Zionists and Arabs since December 1947, the 
> armies of the Arab states didn?t enter Palestine until May 15, 1948, 
> the day after Israel declared its statehood. Unsurprisingly, almost all 
> hostilities occurred in the Arab partition. In 1949, the final outcome 
> of the war was that Israel expanded to occupy 77% of Palestine 
> including the larger part of Jerusalem, intended to be international 
> under the UN partition resolution. Gandhi was obviously quite justified 
> in 1946 when he stated, ?Why should they depend on American money or 
> British arms for forcing themselves on an unwelcome land? Why should 
> they resort to terrorism to make good their forcible landing in 
> Palestine?? In the destroyed Arab villages, Jewish settlements were 
> built over Palestinian owned land and the original Arabic village names 
> were discarded for Hebrew names. Ultimately, Israel destroyed over 400 
> villages. In other villages, Israel just got rid of the people and kept 
> the buildings in order for Jewish settlers to move into the homes of 
> the displaced Palestinians. In 1949, a tripartite committee 
> [British/French/Turkish] estimated the value of the expropriated land 
> and property at £1,124,000,000 sterling. Today's value is several 
> hundred billion dollars.

> inhabiting an area of 800,000 square miles in the 10th century AD. At 
> the time of its mass conversion and throughout most of its existence, 
> Khazaria covered approximately one million square miles, well over a
