Essential Topics

Nakba means catastrophe in Arabic, which describes the event of dispossession and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians during 1948. Approximately 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from or fled their homes, and over 500 villages were destroyed.

 

Anti-Zionism is opposition to the political ideology of Zionism and its implementation, while antisemitism is prejudice against Jewish people as a group. The conflation of these terms is often used to silence legitimate criticism of Israeli policies.

The Haavara (Transfer) Agreement was signed between Ben-Gurion and Hitler from 1933 to late 1941, facilitating the transfer of German Jews and their assets to Palestine during the Holocaust period.

Research by Israeli scientists including historian Shlomo Sand and geneticist Eran Elhaik shows that European Jews are primarily descendants of Khazar converts, not Middle Eastern Jews, while Palestinians have stronger genetic connections to the original inhabitants.
