Ethnic Cleansing Continues

Systematic Looting

A very important part of the ethnic cleansing operations in 1948 was the systematic looting of property: homes, fields and bank account, among other possession. The government was unhappy with individuals looting the Palestinian properties and wanted to orchestrate this from above.

Ethnic Cleansing Continued

Ethnic cleansing continued after the cession of fighting. the villages in the north were spared by strong lobbying of Sharett and his colleagues, mainly because they were not Muslim villages. However, Majdal was expelled as was Zacharia. Between 1948 and 1956, Israel expelled around 30 villages.
