A Land Without a People

A Land Without a People Israel, Transfer and the Palestinians, 1949-96

Nur Masalha1997
Transfer - a euphemism denoting the organized removal of the Arab population of Palestine to neighbouring or distant countries - is deeply rooted in Zionism. Palestine, in Zionist thought, is a land without a people for a people without a land - a vacant territory waiting for settlers, with Palestinian residents who are not attached to the land by historical or cultural ties.
