Palestine was a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-religious, and multi-lingual country targeted to be transformed it to a "Jewish state". The core of this project (Zionism) is thus ethnic cleansing which started under British Rule (to fulfil the illegal Balfour declaration) and accelerated under more direct Zionism control. 8 million Palestinian displaced, 530 villages and towns wiped out, 250,000 native Palestinians killed.
