Palestinian Displacement 1967
|
|
In 1967 war, Israel launched air strikes against
Palestinian cities and
towns in Gaza strip and the West Bank, the air raids pushed thousands of
Palestinians to flee their villages and towns to seek shelter out of the
range of Israeli artillery bombardment. The war resulted in the
displacement of more Palestinians. 350,000 people were forced out by
terror, expelled or left from fear. More camps were constructed to absorb
this large number of refugees.

 |
|
The Security Council and the General Assembly called on
Israel on 14th June 1967 to facilitate the return of
these refugees. Israel pretended to comply. The
Palestinians, having waited
for 20 years in their miserable refugee camps hoping to move world
conscience and trusting in the U.N. to allow them to return to their homes
and restore their legitimate rights in their homeland, found it all in vain. |

The U.N. passed resolutions but did not enforce them,
when they conflicted with the wishes of Israel and her guardian the U.S.
world public opinion was deaf to the Palestinian cries while it was all ears
to Zionist propaganda and demands to import 3,000,000 Russian Jews. Israel
argued that the return of the Palestinian refugees will create more security
problems for Israel. The Israeli attitude also applied to all Palestinians
who left the country to seek jobs in the Gulf states, USA or Europe. |

The Palestinians, finding all their country under
Israeli occupation and its entire people either expelled or under alien
rule, lost faith in the world community and came to realize that, even in
this era of so-called civilization, International Law and U.N. Charter,
might is right and what is lost by force can be regained only by force.
They intensified, therefore, their resistance by guerrilla attacks against
Israeli military personnel and objectives. The Israelis retaliated by
ruthless bombardment using Phantom jets and napalm against the defenseless
men, women and children in their refugee camps in
Jordan, Lebanon and
Syria. The Palestinian resistance was vilified by Zionist propaganda and
their captured members were savagely tortured in Israeli hands. 1967 issue
is the core for the solution of the conflict, the
Palestinians insists to get back east
Jerusalem according to what it used to be in 1967. |
