Due to a (now former) admin of the instance anarchist.nexus calling for a member of our team, as well as anyone else they call a zionist, to be murdered, the instance has been defederated.
We’re currently discussing how we will proceed with this situation and whether it will affect lemmy.dbzer0.com, which is mostly run by the same admin team, notably excluding the person who used to be on the anarchist.nexus admin team.
We will share further updates once we have them.
Update 2026-04-22 23:25 UTC: anarchist.nexus federation has been reactivated.
We are still discussing this matter, but there is currently no point in keeping anarchist.nexus defederated while lemmy.dbzer0.com is federated.
Between 1918 and 1947, Jewish immigrants bought land legally. There was no forced displacement.
The UK severely restricted Jewish immigration into the mandate after the Arab revolt from 1939. Tens of thousands of Jewish refugees from the Holocaust were blocked from entering. They were deported and interned in camps on Cyprus.
Around 700,000 Palestinians fled in 1947/48, only a minority of those were displaced by force. Many fled before the war really started.
Around 200,000 fled in 1967.
In 1947/48, tens of thousands of Jews were expelled from the West Bank and Jerusalem. Among them were the oldest continued Jewish inhabitants of the land.
After 1948 Muslim and Arab states expelled 800,000 Jews, many of which fled to Israel.
The number of overall deaths including Arabs and Jews was in the low tenthousands from 1918 to 2022.
More than tenthousand Palestinians were killed by Jordan during Black September. At least 5000 died during the civil war in Syria.
October 7th was by far the deadliest day of the whole conflict. Never before or after have that many people died in one day.
More numbers over the whole timeline can be found here. They don’t differentiate between Palestinians and other Arabs, combatants and civilians.
Israel destroyed 500 villages , palestinians was forced to leave due to the huge level of destruction and was never allowed to come back

You are mixing up the order. In many cases Palestinians fled first and the villages were destroyed to prevent their return. There were also forced expulsions and atrocities, yes.
The Arabs did the same to the Jews living in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza.
In most case palestinian was forced to leave because without them leaving you could not create a jewish state since jews only have 9% of the land and it was disperced. The villages was not empty they was full of people as proven from zionist testimony about tentura.
The expulsion of jews from arab countries in response to israel expulsion of Palestinian was wrong and while the majoritarly was expulsed, other was forced to leave by zionist false flags and deal with between zionists and certain arab leaders like Operation Yachin.
Under international law, the forcible transfer of populations and the** destruction of property of a population** that has been forced out constitute crimes against humanity and are key elements of ethnic cleansing
Even if you believe the lie that most left willingfully . The destruction of property and preventing Palestinians to return is ethnic cleansing
Stop spreading misinfo about the Nakba. Groups like Betar committed plenty of acts of violence and anti-Arab terrorism which forced many Palestinians to flee. Like Zionists like you can just as shitty views and rhetoric as a lot of antizionists.
They just did that. No reason.
Most fled because war was imminent. Some were forcibly displaced, as I said before.
Arab leaders inside Palestine and outside had called for Palestinians to evacuate and return after the war was won and the Jews were thrown into the sea.
The situation and history in Haifa gives you an idea of the complexities and chaos of the situation.
People fleeing from war happens in all wars. It’s usually the more well off that leave first.
Where do the 20% of non Jewish citizens of Israel come from? They are those who stayed and their descendants.
It’d be a lot easier to refer to the Nakba, unless you’re deliberately avoiding that reference.
Why would they be factual when the point is to obscure what’s happening
