On 1948 | Ilan Pappe | Part I | 2018 interview

Please support this channel: / transliminal
***
What happened to the Palestinians when Israel declared its independence in 1948?
Was it ethnic cleansing? Chaos? Legitimate Jewish self-defense?
Prof. Ilan Pappe is perhaps the most contentious Israeli historian of this question.
Decidedly left-wing in his outlook, Pappe is both an historian, and a social activist. He's perhaps most famous for his book "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine," in which he lays out a case that the war for the creation of Israel in 1948 is best understood as an ethnic cleansing of the native Palestinian population by primarily European Jews.
Unsurprisingly, Pappe's scholarship is widely derided in Israel. Yet his work is often celebrated by many pro-Palestinian activists in the Middle East and abroad.
Pappe currently teaches history at the University of Exeter, in the UK.
This is part one of my two part interview with Pappe last summer, in Haifa.
For the contrasting academic perspective, please see my interviews with Prof Benny Morris, of Ben-Gurion University, here: goo.gl/sC5BTe

[@factusnonverbus]

His point about the Palestinians not being allowed back after the fighting ceased is the absolute key. It does not matter why civilians flee a war zone, it's ethnic cleansing when you don't let them back based on ethnicity.

[@iillii5]

In the midst of all out war and intention to annihilate the jews I don't see how the Arabs expelled from Israel or the Jews forced to leave Egypt would've been allowed back

[@simoncordingley3122]

Incorrect. What requirement is there to give land back that has been won in war in response to an attack that had genocidal motivations.

[@factusnonverbus]

My friend is Palestinian, his wife's father is still living in Palestine and keeps the keys of his family's home in Haifa, the home that was stolen years ago by the incoming Jews, dreaming that he would go back one day. I was very moved when I knew this.

[@alinedeleandro123]

The keys & their land title are the 2 things that all the Palestinians kept (at least those who had time to grab them) before they were forced to flee.

[@mattg3789]

The Jaffa Riots of 1921 a series of violent riots in Mandatory Palestine on May 1-7, 1921, which began as a confrontation between two Jewish groups but developed into an attack by Arabs on Jews. Dozens of British, Arab, and Jewish witnesses all reported that Arab men bearing clubs, knives, swords, and some pistols broke into Jewish buildings and murdered their inhabitants, while women followed to loot. They attacked Jewish pedestrians and destroyed Jewish homes and stores. They beat and killed Jews in their homes, including children, and in some cases split open the victims' skulls. This is not an isolated incident. Murderous mobs went on rampages all over Palestine in the 20's-40's. No wonder Jews don't want Muslims living among them.

[@user-op9de9gc2w]

First of all it was a war and both sides had losses. The same wikipedia page you checked also mentions that there was 47 Jews deaths and 48 Arabs deaths. Arabs had no problem with native Jews (only 5% of the whole population). They lived side by side as neighbours for centuries in total peace. It was only when the Zionist project of taking the land and establishing a state started to surface, and external Jews started immigrating from Europe and America and Russia, along with Belfour declaration that promised the land to the Jews, only then the Arabs started to defend themselves from the people that came with the intent to steal the land. Which happened. They stole the land, they expelled people from their homes, they are still making massacres to this moment.@@mattg3789

It's no different than what was done to the indigenous people in Canada. None of the reasons that were given for creating or expanding the Indian Act had anything to do with what was done with the Indian Act...including the pass system which was adopted by Israel. They said it was for security but it was actually intended to destroy the culture and the people. Reserves were supposed to be a temporary measure and the Indians were supposed to vanish over time.

[@judygraboyes5363]

I totally agree. This genocide in Gaza has nothing to do with October 7th. Israel has been wanting to do this for a long time. They knew exactly what Hamas was planning and did nothing to prevent it.

[@MrJREllman]

@@hitreset0291 It looks like you're looking for simplistic binaries to judge people and regimes by. This is more complex than you can imagine. Pappe, Benny Morris and other historians have spent their entire lives studying this. Yet they and many others have different views and interpretations of the history. And you think you can sum it up in a couple of sentences. Israel is obviously not an apartheid regime. Citizens of all races and religions have equal rights in law. You can argue that they don't have equality in reality. But you can't deny that in law they do. There are Arab lawyers, doctors, teachers, politicians, soldiers, who live and work alongside Jews. They all have one equal vote. It's just lazy to call it apartheid. The US support for Israel dates back to the cold war when the Soviet Union supported the Arab nations in the Middle East. It's not hard if you are interested in history to consider that either of those superpowers could have supported the other 'team'. Israel was very left wing until the 1970s and the Arabs were very conservative. Perhaps it reduces to simple opportunism on either side. Although nothing is simple in this history. As for the US supporting the Ukraine and therefore ought to support the Palestinians: I don't understand your point here. Would you like to explain it further or do you prefer to continue with lazy, simplistic binaries?

[@vestibulate]

This interview is a valuable contribution to public understanding. For once we have an interlocutor who is conversant with the subject and able to ask illuminating questions. And in Ilan Pappe we have probably the foremost historian on the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. In the latter regard, I found the final three minutes especially noteworthy: he mentions how Israel sees the native Palestinians as immigrants and markets its expertise in repressing similarly constituted minorities in other countries. Israel plays an important role in training the internal security forces of many states, from impoverished countries to the very wealthiest and most powerful. Increasingly, the Israeli model is seen as the best, most professional option in designing strategies of mass repression in the name of democracy.

[@jtjwhite]

Palestinians (mainly Hamas and Hezbollah) aren’t engaging in an ethnic cleanish effort? Have you seen/read/heard the declarations in the Hamas charter and the rhetoric surrounding the PLM?

[@TheKnittedRaven]

@@jtjwhite in the late 1940s, Israel has had a well trained, organized and armed military. The only Arab army that came close at the time was Jordan and Israel made a deal with them to share territory with them after Palestinians had been expelled, thus taking them out of that equation. Over 700,000 Palestinians were forcibly removed or terrorized out of their urban neighborhoods and villages. For 75 years, the territory left to Palestinians has shrunk and they've had to cope with an oppressive Israeli occupation. That breeds resentment, anger and violence. Have Israelis died over the past 75 years? Sadly, they have, despite their superior military strength and resources. Far more Palestinians have died and will continue to do do unless Israeli and international policies change.

[@ForPeaceOnly]

It’s the story all Palestinians have heard from their parents and grandparents. It is so so sad, the impact is a long term impact for those who were kicked out and a daily disaster for those still in. Take the ones who were forced out, there is a common thread which is that all Palestinians are scattered and have no one country that they can equally call home. Parents can be in Jordan, grandkid can be in Canada, uncle can be in Germany, brother can be in the US, sister can be in Lebanon. It is so sad, each of our families lived apart and when retirement comes - almost no one is with their family. This Zionism has slipped the livelihood of the Palestinians generation after generation, and for those that managed to stay, you can all see today how they are existing - cannot even say living.. Thank you to Mr. Ilan Pappe for documenting history correctly as witnessed by those who lived it and not by the Zionist historians with all their false books. Thank you for the interviewer and the team as well. God Bless.

[@charmainebucco951]

I read a Spanish historian's work which was highly critical of Francisco Franco's regime (the historian survived the Spanish Civil War but became disillusioned with Franco at some point) and the professor wrote that Franco had tried enticing German Catholics still alive after WW2 to emigrate to Spain instead of going to the Americas. He also told the same thing to Mussolini's former allies and loyalists. I forget the historian's name, I'm pretty sure he isn't alive anymore, but that's my two cents.
