Congress’ ‘Israel Normalization Act’ normalizes ethnic cleansing and impunity
H.R. 2748, the Israel Relations Normalization Act of 2021, expands the Abraham Accords, Trump-era weapons and business deals between apartheid Israel and other authoritarian regimes. These deals bribe Arab countries in the region to ignore both Israel’s settler colonialism and constant human rights violations. Last week, the bill passed in both the House and the Senate.
Israeli lawmaker regrets that ethnic cleansing of Palestinians was not completed
Plenty of Israel partisans deny or explain away the Nakba – the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians c.1948 – but Israeli political leader Bezalel Smotrich openly admits it, and wishes it had gone further.
When your village becomes a “firing zone” – that’s ethnic cleansing
In order to intimidate Palestinians into leaving their own land, Israel declares various areas of the West Bank “military firing zones.” It’s one of many strategies for ethnic cleansing and “Judaization.”
How Palestinians in Jerusalem are being targeted in a campaign of ethnic cleansing
Israel’s takeover of Arab East Jerusalem has continued unabated since the 1967 war, but has grown more brazen since US President Trump’s decision to move the embassy. Evictions of Palestinians and appropriation of their homes by Israeli settlers is more frequent; Israeli police presence has grown more pervasive; Israel’s parliament is devising more new policies – and its supreme court is upholding them – to dispossess Palestinians.

The Nakba: Israel’s ethnic cleansing operation to create a Jewish majority in Palestine
During Israel’s “war of independence,” over 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes, never to be allowed to return. Hundreds of towns were razed; villagers were massacred. Their very existence on the land was nearly wiped from history as Israel built new towns over the ruins and gave them Hebrew names.
1951 Documents Reveal Israel’s Intent to Ethnically Cleanse Bedouin from their Lands
New research has uncovered an Israeli military operation commanded by Moshe Dayan whose goal was to forcibly remove Bedouin Palestinians from their lands. The documents reveal an orderly state expulsion plan, which continues today… Israel has evicted the Bedouin from the Negev village of Al-Arakib dozens of times, but they keep coming back.

Cleansing the Negev: Israel plans to evict “tens of thousands” of Palestinian Bedouin
Israel uses benign terms to hide the true nature of its plans to evict tens of thousands of indigenous Bedouin from their homes, many of whom have been uprooted at least once before. The reality is that this is part of Israel’s overarching, 70-year-long ethnic cleansing project to create a Jewish state.
