The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine is a book authored by New Historian Ilan Pappé and published in 2006 by One World Oxford.
During the 1948 Palestine war, around 720,000 Palestinian Arabs out of the 900,000 who lived in the territories that became Israel fled or were expelled from their home. The causes of this exodus
are controversial and debated by historians. In his own words, Ilan
Pappé "want[s] to make the case for the paradigm of ethnic cleansing and
use[s] it to replace the paradigm of war as the basis for the scholarly
research of, and public debate about, 1948."
The thesis of the book is that the forced move of Palestinians to the Arab world was an objective of the Zionist movement, and a must for the desired character of the Jewish state. According to Ilan Pappé, the 1948 Palestinian exodus resulted from a planned ethnic cleansing of Palestine that was implemented by the Zionist movement leaders, mainly David Ben-Gurion
and the other ten members of his "consultancy group" as referred to by
Pappé. The book argues that the ethnic cleansing was put into effect
through systematic expulsions of about 500 Arab villages, as well as
terrorist attacks executed mainly by members of the Irgun and Haganah troops against the civilian population. Ilan Pappé also refers to Plan Dalet and to the village files as a proof of the planned expulsions.
