The Nakba in numbers: Displacement of the Palestinians and destruction of their villages

​In 1948, the State of Israel was created on land that only a year before had been a majority Palestinian population with a majority of Palestinian villages.  As the graphs below demonstrate, by 1949, Israel had expelled 750,000 Palestinians and erased more than 500 Palestinian villages. As a result, within two years, Israel had become a majority Jewish nation with a majority of Jewish villages.
