|---|
| Israeli Occupation : 30th of April 1948 (The first Palestinian city to fall into the Zionists hands) |
|
| Ethnic Cleansing by the Israelis : Based on declassified Israeli documents, the Israeli historian Benny Morris concluded that the Jewish civilian population (especially Haifa's Jewish mayor Shabtai Levy) was at peace with their Palestinian neighbors, but the Haganah and the IZL leadership had a different agenda of ethnically cleansing the city of its Palestinian Arab population. Benny Morris wrote: In Haifa, the civilian authorities were saying one thing and the Haganah was doing something else altogether. Moreover, Haganah unites in the field acted inconsistently and in a manner often unintelligible to the Arab population (Benny Morris, p. 90). To expedite the ethnic cleansing process, the Haganah broadcasted terror messages, via loudspeakers, to sociologically terrorize the Arab inhabitants into fleeing. (Benny Morris, p. 76) Out of the 61,000 Palestinian Arabs who used to call Haifa home, only 3,566 Palestinians were allowed to stay. The remaining population were in constant fear on their lives and properties, and many of them witnessed the looting of their homes and possessions by the Zionists.

|---|
| Israeli Occupation : July 11th, 1948 (handed over by H.M. King Abdullah) |
|
| Ethnic Cleansing by the Israelis : Soon after al-Lydd's massacre, the inhabitants were terrorized into fleeing their city, and out of the 19,000 people who used to call al-Lydd home, only 1,052 were allowed to stay. Yitzhak Rabin, the Noble Prize winner, has written in his diary soon after Lydda's and Ramla's occupation: "After attacking Lydda [later called Lod] and then Ramla, .... What would they do with the 50,000 civilians living in the two cities ..... Not even Ben-Gurion could offer a solution .... and during the discussion at operation headquarters, he [Ben-Gurion] remained silent, as was his habit in such situations. Clearly, we could not leave [Lydda's] hostile and armed populace in our rear, where it could endangered the supply route [to the troops who were] advancing eastward." Ben-Gurion would repeat the question: What is to be done with the population?, waving his hand in a gesture which said: Drive them out!. 'Driving out' is a term with a harsh ring, .... Psychologically, this was on of the most difficult actions we undertook." (Soldier Of Peace, p. 140-141) Currently, the people of the twin cities and their descendents number close to 500,000, who mostly live in deplorable refugee camps around Amman (Jordan) and Ramallah (West Bank). Based on Rabin's personal account of events, the decision to ethnically cleanse the cities was not an easy decision, however, that did not stop him from placing a similar order, 19 years later, to ethnically cleanse and destroy the villages of 'Imwas, Yalu, and Bayt Nuba. The exodus from the twin cities was portrayed firsthand by Ismail Shammout, the renowned Palestinians artist from Lydda itself , click here to view his exodus gallery. Click here to learn more on cleansing Lydda and Ramla based on declassified Israeli documents and personal diaries. |

| Ethnic Cleansing by the Israelis : After al-Ramla's occupation, the Zionist made an agreement with its inhabitants that they could stay in the city. But soon after occupation, the Zionist reneged on their promise and detained over 3,000 men in concentrations camp, and on the same day they started looting the city. On the 14th of July 1948, the city inhabitants were told to start leaving the city, and out of the 17,000 people who used to call al-Ramla home, only 400 people were allowed to stay. Yitzhak Rabin, the Noble Prize winner, has written in his diary soon after Lydda's and Ramla's occupation: "After attacking Lydda [later called Lod] and then Ramla, .... What would they do with the 50,000 civilians living in the two cities ..... Not even Ben-Gurion could offer a solution .... and during the discussion at operation headquarters, he [Ben-Gurion] remained silent, as was his habit in such situations. Clearly, we could not leave [Lydda's] hostile and armed populace in our rear, where it could endangered the supply route [to the troops who were] advancing eastward." Ben-Gurion would repeat the question: What is to be done with the population?, waving his hand in a gesture which said: Drive them out!. 'Driving out' is a term with a harsh ring, .... Psychologically, this was on of the most difficult actions we undertook." (Soldier Of Peace, p. 140-141) Currently, the people of the twin cities and their descendents number close to 500,000, who mostly live in deplorable refugee camps around Amman (Jordan) and Ramallah (West Bank). Based on Rabin's personal account of events, the decision to ethnically cleanse the cities was not an easy decision, however, that did not stop him from placing a similar order, 19 years later, to ethnically cleanse and destroy the villages of 'Imwas, Yalu, and Bayt Nuba. The exodus from the twin cities was portrayed firsthand by Ismail Shammout, the renowned Palestinians artist from Lydda itself , click here to view his exodus gallery.
