Example text

In the course of the war there occurred the most radical act of Zionist "worlding," as Jewish military forces dispersed some 770,000 Palestinians from the newly created Israeli territory in 1948. 12 About 70 percent of the Palestinian people were transformed into refugees. The new state then proceeded to obliterate most of the historical vestiges of those vanished people, wiping some 418 Palestinian Arab villages off the face of the earth. 13 Those Arab traces subsequently acquired Jewish identities as they were variously ploughed under by Israeli farmers, resettled and given new Hebrew names, or planted over with Jewish National Fund (JNF) forests (Jiryis 1976: 79).

Besides conducting these interviews, I attempted to investigate (mainly on my own) the broader contexts of the memory of the revolt. I studied official, academic, and oppositional historical narratives (archival and secondary), written in English and Arabic, from Western, Israeli, and Palestinian sources. I also visited historical sites pertinent to this contested history and attended Palestinian events of national significance whenever I was able. In addition, I discussed my project, and the revolt in particular, with anyone who was interested, in order to get a sense of how younger Palestinians remembered the rebellion.

" "Over there, on top of that ridge," they replied. Within a matter of months, bulldozers appeared where the men of Nazlat Shaykh Zayd had pointed, gouging great holes in the earth for the construction of a new Jewish settlement.
