After decades of mobilising support and accumulating resources, in 1948 the Zionist settler colonial project established the state of Israel through the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

Over 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homeland and over 400 Palestinian villages and towns were destroyed. Those who were forced out became refugees in neighbouring countries, they and their descendants now number an estimated 7 million.

To this day, the Israeli regime denies Palestinians’ internationally enshrined right of return to their homes of origin and restitution of their properties.

The Israeli regime makes a clear legal distinction between nationality and citizenship in order to institutionalise discrimination and segregation. This moment was the birth of Israeli apartheid.
