"
Jewish villages were built in the place of
Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because
geography books no longer exist, not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul;
Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushu'a in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not one single place built in this country [
Israel] that did not have a former Arab
population."
"The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies."
