The creation of the state of #Israel on May 15, 1948, was achieved by the #Haganah and other Jewish groups through the ethnic cleansing of the #Palestinians and #massacres that spread #terror among the #Palestinian population.

The Haganah, trained and armed by the #British, swiftly seized most of #Palestine.

It emptied West #Jerusalem and cities such as #Haifa and #Jaffa, along with numerous towns and villages, of their #Arab inhabitants.

Palestinians call this moment in their history the #Nakba, or the #Catastrophe.
