Evacuation (Israeli politics)
- Evacuation (Israeli politics)
In Israeli politics Evacuation refers to the forced removal of people of Jewish identity from their homes in territory handed over to Arabs, and the accompanying destruction of their property, as part of the policy of Land for Peace. Under Land for Peace, evacuation is only performed on the Jewish populations and only Jews are forbidden from residing in certain areas. Notable examples include the destruction of and expulsion of Jews from Yamit, the unilateral disengagement plan and realignment plan.
Criticism of evacuation
Critics of evacuation have called it ethnic cleansing and have referred to its practitioners as self-hating Jews comparing them to the Judenrat - the puppet council of Jews appointed by the Nazis to assist in evacuating Jews to concentration camps.
