The Holocaust, the Resurrection and the Nakba by Yair Auron [Hebrew]

The official Israeli historical narrative of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the 1948 war has refused to acknowledge the crime committed by Israeli military groups and the Israeli army in expelling the Palestinian people from its homeland. It claims that the Palestinian Arabs left Palestine of their own free will. The Israeli authorities, in the context of reinforcing their historical narrative, particularly in the early decades of Israel’s establishment, took legal and administrative measures to keep hold of the minutes of the meetings of the Israeli government and army, and all other Israeli institutions, relating to the expulsion of the Palestinians and the commission of massacres against them, held in Israeli archives.

The official Israeli historical narrative of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the 1948 war has refused to acknowledge the crime committed by Israeli military groups and the Israeli army in expelling the Palestinian people from its homeland. It claims that the Palestinian Arabs left Palestine of their own free will. The Israeli authorities, in the context of reinforcing their historical narrative, particularly in the early decades of Israel’s establishment, took legal and administrative measures to keep hold of the minutes of the meetings of the Israeli government and army, and all other Israeli institutions, relating to the expulsion of the Palestinians and the commission of massacres against them, held in Israeli archives.
