The official topographical maps issued by the State of Israel in the 1950s (1:100'000), inherited from the period of the British mandatory government but overprinted in Hebrew, mention almost 300 destroyed Palestinian localities. Each Palestinian locality having been in a state of destruction and abandonment at that time is marked on these maps by the Hebrew overprint HAROUSS which means 'destroyed, demolished'. These maps alone establish thus with absolute certainty the destruction of a great number of Palestinian localities. They present the most important evidence for our list.
In our list, the first column gives the names of destroyed Palestinian localities, with the number of inhabitants in 1945 mentioned in parentheses (x= no information available). The second column gives precise topological coordinates referring to the Palestine/Israel Grid (established by the Survey of Palestine [British Mandatory Government] and taken over by the official maps of the State of Israel).
In order to denote the sites of destroyed settlements, we have consciously avoided the word 'villages' which could arise confusion. The present list makes reference to towns as well as to villages or even hamlets. However, indicating the number of inhabitants in 1945 (given in parenthesis after each toponym) may give an approximate idea about the relative importance of these localities (source: Statistical Abstract 1945, British Mandatory Government of Palestine, cited after Shukri Arraf, Al-qarya al-arabiya al-falastiniya ["The Palestinian Arab Village"], Jerusalem [Arab Studies Society] 1985, pp.163-279). We want to draw attention to the fact that the present list does not mention all the Palestinian towns (as, e.g., Safed/Zefat, Tiberias, Haifa, etc.) some of which have not been destroyed but are today inhabited almost exclusively by an Israeli population.

My family is originally from Yazur (Jaffa district). My grandfather was in his early teens when the town was pretty much invaded...their only warning was a series of bombs going off around the neighborhood in the dead of night.
Reading this list is really sobering.
Excellent find, Greg. I'm bookmarking this one.
You might wanna edit this part of your blog though:
Reason being, the internet version of this list, which was transcribed from a publication by the Association for the Reconstruction of Emwas, doesn't include the third and fourth columns of the original, although some of the fourth column info (contemporary Israeli settlements built over destroyed Palestinian localities) is obviously there.
It says on that website:
But the second column (precise topological coordinates) and third column (sources, maps etc) are missing, not the third and fourth. Most of the fourth is there.
Yafus the Dufus, I assume you have references to back up your ludicrous claims above, or are the figures simply chosen at random? The number 6 is shared in common with another oft-cited figure. Is that part of a pattern?
For what it is worth, the only time Jews were forced to leave Arab countries and Persia were when Mossad-organised 'anti-semitic incidents' forced them into exile.
I don't know if you saw it, but when I posted this comment titled Yufus the Dufus, our other resident Zionist, 'morality', responded by complaining about me making fun of his name. It would seem that the Yafus and morality handles are being operated by one individual. Can you confirm this one way or the other by looking at the IPs?
The comment I posted was titled Dufus the Israeli apologist. I got mine mixed up with yours.
Well stop disappointing me then. Join Jews Anonymous, renounce your Zionist tendencies and come over to the light side of the Force.
I beg to differ. You're very much the same, whether you're one individual or not.
I can confirm that despite their identikit lack of reasoning, they are different individuals.
..would try to change this subject, the one of ETHNIC CLEANSING BY zOOs upon the Palestinian people, with another LiE.
It's called NAQBA: DISASTER!!!!
YOU SHALL NEVER^FORGET!!!!!!

Seems we've got their attention again,
because their crimes against humanity
are too numerous to count; yet..
their shitty little racist state
has only been around for 60 years.
No wonder they hate the truth so much.
Thanks for this 'Bacon, i will add to it soon.
What's with the Zoos, random capitalisation and strange punctuation characters? Am I missing something? ;)
nope.. you guessed it just fine!
I didn't guess anything. I was just curious as to the meaning of Zoos, and your rationale for peppering your posts with random characters and font changes.
