In 1966
werd het militaire gezag over arabische gemeenschappen in Israël opgeheven, nadat zeker werd gemaakt dat arabieren niet terug konden keren naar de
dorpen die ze ontvlucht waren bij de terreur die Israël op hen
uitoefende voor, tijdens en na de illegale stichting van de staat Israël…… Die
zekerheid bestond uit het platgooien van de dorpen en daar dichte
bebossing op te planten…..
Na 2
jaar juridisch touwtrekken kreeg het Akevot Institute toegang tot
documenten over deze zaak, documenten die het nationaal archief van Israël niet vrij wilde geven…..
Nogmaals
wordt met deze gegevens aangetoond dat de arabieren opzettelijk
werden (en worden) gedwarsboomd terug te keren naar hun geboortegrond en die van hun
ouders, grootouders, overgrootouders enz. enz. Ofwel de arabieren
werden middels etnische zuivering verbannen van hun eigen grond, huis
en voor velen in het groot van Palestina, hun moeder/vaderland en dat met bloedig geweld……..
Israël is een (fascistische*) terreurstaat en zolang de Palestijnen geen recht wordt gedaan,
gaat Israël door met haar etnische zuivering, dit door letterlijk het
leven van de Palestijnen (arabieren) onmogelijk te maken…… In getto de
Gazastrook werd dit gedaan door vernietiging van de elektriciteitscentrale** en het
onbruikbaar maken van waterbronnen, zodat deze eerste levensbehoeften, waaronder je in de Gazastrook ook elektriciteit moet rekenen (elektriciteit die maar een paar uur per dag beschikbaar is) en wat betreft water door
het afknijpen van de toevoer van water door Israël…… Bovendien zijn ook
andere levensbehoeften moeilijk verkrijgbaar door de Israëlische en Egyptische blokkade van de
Gazastrook (waarmee de Gazastrook is veranderd in een getto als dat
van Warschau tijdens WOII…..)…..
Op de
illegaal door Israël bezette West Bank heeft Israël een muur gebouwd
waardoor bijvoorbeeld Palestijnse boeren hun land niet of slecht
kunnen bereiken, tegelijk steken de illegale Joodse kolonisten en
militairen de gewassen en olijfbomen op de landbouwgronden van Palestijnse boeren in
brand….. (waar het leger zelfs voorkomt dat Palestijnen de brand blussen…) De West Bank waar de Palestijnen dagelijks met
vernederingen en pesterijen door psychopathische snotneuzen te maken
krijgen bij het grote aantal wegblokkades van het Israëlische leger……
Ook op de West Bank is het water een wapen dat door Israël wordt gebruikt, waar de illegale nederzettingen zwembaden
hebben, ontbreekt het de Palestijnen aan drinkwater en water voor
gewassen, zodat ook op de West Bank water moet worden aangevoerd
(voor de Palestijnen…)……
Hoe kan
een zo vervolgd volk voor een fiks deel hetzelfde doen tegen in feite
weerloze Palestijnen..??!!! Alsof de Palestijnen en niet de
Europeanen verantwoordelijk zijn voor de holocaust…….
Onverdraaglijk!!

Declassified:
Israel Made Sure Arabs Couldn’t Return to Their Villages
Trove of archival documents reveals how Israel prevented Arabs from returning to villages they had left in 1948 – chiefly, by razing structures and planting dense forestsBy Yotam Berger

May 30, 2019 “Information Clearing House” – Israel lifted its military rule over the state’s Arab community in 1966 only after ascertaining that its members could not return to the villages they had fled or been expelled from, according to newly declassified archival documents.
The documents both reveal the considerations behind the creation of the military government 18 years earlier, and the reasons for dismantling it and revoking the severe restrictions it imposed on Arab citizens in the north, the Negev and the so-called Triangle of Locales in central Israel.
These records were made public as a result of a campaign launched against the state archives by the Akevot Institute, which researches the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
After the War of Independence in 1948, the state imposed military rule over Arabs living around the country, which applied to an estimated 85 percent of that community at the time, say researchers at the NGO. The Arabs in question were subject to the authority of a military commander who could limit their freedom of movement, declare areas to be closed zones, or demand that the inhabitants leave and enter certain locales only with his written permission.
The newly revealed documents describe the ways Israel prevented Arabs from returning to villages they had left in 1948, even after the restrictions on them had been lifted. The main method: dense planting of trees within and surrounding these towns.
At a meeting held in November 1965 at the office of Shmuel Toledano, the prime minister’s adviser on Arab affairs, there was a discussion about villages that had been left behind and that Israel did not want to be repopulated, according to one document. To ensure that, the state had the Jewish National Fund plant trees around and in them.

Among other things, the document states that “the lands belonging to the above-mentioned villages were given to the custodian for absentee properties” and that “most were leased for work (cultivation of field crops and olive groves) by Jewish households.” Some of the properties, it adds, were subleased.
In the meeting in Toledano’s office, it was explained that these lands had been declared closed military zones, and that once the structures on them had been razed, and the land had been parceled out, forested and subject to proper supervision – their definition as closed military zones could be lifted.
On April 3, 1966, another discussion was held on the same subject, this time at the office of the defense minister, Levi Eshkol, who was also the serving prime minister; the minutes of this meeting were classified as top secret. Its participants included: Toledano; Isser Harel, in his capacity as special adviser to the prime minister; the military advocate general – Meir Shamgar, who would later become president of the Supreme Court; and representatives of the Shin Bet security service and Israel Police.
The newly publicized record of that meeting shows that the Shin Bet was already prepared at that point to lift the military rule over the Arabs and that the police and army could do so within a short time.
Regarding northern Israel, it was agreed that “all the areas declared at the time to be closed [military] zones… other than Sha’ab [east of Acre] would be opened after the usual conditions were fulfilled – razing of the buildings in the abandoned villages, forestation, establishment of nature reserves, fencing and guarding.” The dates of the reopening these areas would be determined by Israel Defense Forces Maj. Gen. Shamir, the minutes said. Regarding Sha’ab, Harel and Toledano were to discuss that subject with Shamir.
However, as to Arab locales in central Israel and the Negev, it was agreed that the closed military zones would remain in effect for the time being, with a few exceptions.

Even after military rule was lifted, some top IDF officers, including Chief of Staff Tzvi Tzur and Shamgar, opposed the move. In March 1963, Shamgar, then military advocate general, wrote a pamphlet about the legal basis of the military administration; only 30 copies were printed. (He signed it using his previous, un-Hebraized name, Sternberg.) Its purpose was to explain why Israel was imposing its military might over hundreds of thousands of citizens.
Among other things, Shamgar wrote in the pamphlet that Regulation 125, allowing certain areas to be closed off, is intended “to prevent the entry and settlement of minorities in border areas,” and that “border areas populated by minorities serve as a natural, convenient point of departure for hostile elements beyond the border.” The fact that citizens must have permits in order to travel about helps to thwart infiltration into the rest of Israel, he wrote.
Regulation 124, he noted, states that “it is essential to enable nighttime ambushes in populated areas when necessary, against infiltrators.” Blockage of roads to traffic is explained as being crucial for the purposes of “training, tests or maneuvers.” Moreover, censorship is a “crucial means for counter-intelligence.”
Two-year campaign
Despite Shamgar’s opinion, later that year, Prime Minister Levi Eshkol canceled the requirement for personal travel permits as a general obligation. Two weeks after that decision, in November 1963, Chief of Staff Tzur wrote a top-secret letter about implementation of the new policy to the officers heading the various IDF commands and other top brass, including the head of Military Intelligence. Tzur ordered them to carry it out in nearly all Arab villages, with a few exceptions – among them Barta’a and Muqeible, in northern Israel.
In December 1965, Haim Israeli, an adviser to Defense Minister Eshkol, reported to Eshkol’s other aides, Isser Harel and Aviad Yaffeh, and to the head of the Shin Bet, that then-Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin opposed legislation that would cancel military rule over the Arab villages. Rabin explained his position in a discussion with Eshkol, at which an effort to “soften” the bill was discussed. Rabin was advised that Harel would be making his own recommendations on this matter.
At a meeting held on February 27, 1966, Harel issued orders to the IDF, the Shin Bet and the police concerning the prime minister’s decision to cancel military rule. The minutes of the discussion were top secret, and began with: “The mechanism of the military regime will be canceled. The IDF will ensure the necessary conditions for establishment of military rule during times of national emergency and war.” However, it was decided that the regulations governing Israel’s defense in general would remain in force, and at the behest of the prime minister and with his input, the justice minister would look into amending the relevant statutes in Israeli law, or replacing them.
The historical documents cited here have only made public after a two-year campaign by the Akevot institute against the national archives, which preferred that they remain confidential, Akevot director Lior Yavne told Haaretz. The documents contain no information of a sensitive nature vis-a-vis Israel’s security, Yavne added, and even though they are now in the public domain, the archives has yet to upload them to its website to enable widespread access.
“Hundreds of thousands of files which are crucial to understanding the recent history of the state and society in Israel remain closed in the government archive,” he said. “Akevot continues to fight to expand public access to archival documents – documents that are property of the public.”
