State of Denial: Israel, 1948-2008

The list starts, alphabetically, with:

● A’AQER, located 5.6 miles SW of Ramlah. Pop. 5,000. Obliterated in 1948, with the Jewish settlement of QIRYAT EQRON built on its 3,305 aacres.

And it ends with:

● ZIRI’IN, located 8 miles north of Jenis. Pop. 1,420. Obliterated in 1948, with the Jewish settlement of YIZRE’EL built in 1949 on its 5,550 acres of stolen land.

The first 29 entries are found on page 9 of our current Link issue. (The entire list of 452 towns and villages is found in our booklet “The Colonization of Palestine,” which is available from our book catalog.)

Why is this list of non-existent places so important? Because, argues Israeli historian Ilan Pappe in this issue of The Link, peace will come to the Holy Land only when Israel brings this list to the peace table with the words: "We did this. We will make amends."

Our Featured Issue from the Archive:

Our January-March 1998 Link quoted former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dyan telling a group of Israeli students that, "There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population." After examining British, U.S. and Israeli archives from the 1948-49 period, Israeli historian Ilan Pappe concludes in that same Link issue that the general knew what he was talking about.
