In this Episode, Professor Zachary Foster and I discuss the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine that took place starting in 1948 and has continued till the present day. We discussed the events that led up to the creation of the state of Israel and the subsequent expulsion of nearly 800,000 Palestinians from their villages and towns in an event that became known as the Nakba (Catastrophe).
