Professor Baruch Kimmerling (George S. Wise Professor of Sociology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; co- authored with Joel S. Migdal “The Palestinian People: A History”) on the 1948 Palestinian Genocide or “purification” (2004) : “The conclusion was that, as in many other cases, what seemed at first glance a pure and limited military doctrine, proved itself in the case of “Plan D” to comprise far-reaching measures that lead to a complete demographic, ethnic, social and political transformation of Palestine. Implementing the spirit of this doctrine, the Jewish military forces conquered about 20,000 square kilometers of territory (compared with the 14,000 square kilometers granted them by the UN Partition Resolution) and purified them almost completely from their Arab inhabitants. About 800,000 Arab inhabitants lived on the territories before they fell under Jewish control following the 1948 war. Fewer than 100,000 Arabs remained there under Jewish control after the cease fire. An additional 50,000 were included within the Israeli state’s territory following the Israeli-Jordan’s armistice agreements that transferred several villages to Israeli rule” (Baruch Kimmerling, “Benny Morris’s Shocking Interview”, The Electronic Intifada, 27 January 2004: https://electronicintifada.net/content/top-israeli-historian-analyzes-benny-morriss-shocking-interview/4968 ).
