When Israel launched its demographic war against Palestinians in 1947, it was carried out through military tactics that were difficult to conceal from the international community. The unresolved result of that war can be seen in refugee camps all over the Arab world.
According to U.N. figures, between 1947 and 1949 Zionist military forces forcibly expelled or caused to flee approximately 800,000 Palestinians (amounting to 75 percent of the Arab population of what became Israel).
In 1967, more than 200,000 Palestinians fled their homes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip during Israel’s offensive against Jordan and Egypt and the subsequent occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
Since 1967, Israel has continued its demographic war but the tactics have become obscured through the use of so-called legal and political criteria.
