A Land without a People Summary

A Land without a People: Israel, Transfer and the Palestinians, 1949-96 by Nur Masalha

"Transfer" - a euphemism denoting the organized removal of the Arab population of Palestine to neighbouring or distant countries - is deeply rooted in Zionism. Palestine, in Zionist thought, is "a land without a people for a people without a land" - a vacant territory waiting for settlers, with Palestinian residents who are not attached to the land by historical or cultural ties. This book, by the author of "Expulsion of the Palestinians: the Concept of `Transfer' in Zionist Political Thought, 1882-1948", discusses how "transfer" has informed the thinking of Israeli officials since the creation of the state of Israel, and how the policy "more land, fewer Arabs" has been seen as a serious solution to Israel's demographic problems.
