Testimony by Dr. Ilan Pappe on Genocide in Palestine by Israel
by grtv
The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal Hearing on Palestine--Testimony by Dr. Ilan Pappe.
On November 22, 2013, the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes
Tribunal (KLWCT) went into the third day of the hearing on genocide and
war crimes charges against the State of Israel and Amos Yaron, a retired
Israeli army general.
The tribunal heard the testimony of renowned
historian and socialist activist, Prof Ilan Pappe, who informed the
tribunal about the systematic ethnic cleansing via expulsion and killing
of the Palestinians from their homeland since 1948. Three witnesses
from West Bank also gave an account of their trials and tribulations
under the Israelis.
The testimony of Dr. Pappe was an interesting and
revealing account of the Israeli leadership strategy to rid the
Palestinians from their homeland since the 1940s. He testified that the
expulsions were not decided on an ad hoc basis, as other historians have
argued, but constituted the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, in
accordance with Plan Dalet drawn up in 1947 by Israel's leaders then.
He testified that the expulsion of the Palestinians
in 1948 constituted ethnic cleansing, as the Zionists movement was not
concerned with the native people. He revealed that it was as early as in
the 1940s when it began deliberating the fate of the indigenous people
of Palestine and that they wanted to take over Palestine with as little
Palestinians in it by having them leave voluntarily or be forced out.
He further revealed that from 1948 until 1949, the
plan was enforced by Israeli forces to cleanse villages and towns of
Palestinians by encircling the villages/towns from three flanks to
intimidate the residents into leaving by leaving one flank open. Some
530 villages were wiped out physically. Under the partition plan, 56% of
the land was to be handed to Israel wherein the 2/3 of the population
was Palestinians. In the end, 93% of the land came under the control of
Israel and 750,000 Palestinians were left out as refugees in
neighbouring countries, in Gaza and West Bank. After the 1967 war, Gaza
and West Bank were occupied.
He added that having taken over most of Palestine
territories, the policy changed from expelling to destroying the
Palestinians. Hence, the Sabra & Shatilla massacre was an attempt to
destroy Palestinians in Lebanon.
He told the tribunal that the use of military action
against Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank was considered genocidal
against people who cannot defend themselves. Military operations such as
Summer Rains, Autumn Clouds, and Cast Lead were just to kill the
Palestinians and destroy the economy, culture and their spirit.
In cross-examination by Amicus Curiae Jason Kay, Prof
Pappe agreed that his view of history is a minority view and that while
he is grateful that the Zionist movement had saved his parents from the
Nazi holocaust for which he is grateful; however, the moral way is to
live together with the Palestinians, not expel and kill them.
