This week marks the 66th anniversary of the ethnic cleansing of #Miska, a Palestinian village whose roughly 1,000-strong population was expelled in April 1948 by Haganah forces. Located around 10 miles from Qalqilya, Miska boasted 100-200 houses, an elementary school for boys, and a mosque. The community was targeted and destroyed by pre-Israel Defense Forces (#IDF) militias, as part of a policy of clearing out [the areas] Arab inhabitants. The expulsion of the villagers, according to historian Benny Morris, was carried out with Haganah/IDF General Staff and/or cabinet-level sanction. Everything was destroyed except the school and the mosque. https://middleeastmonitor/articles/debate/10954-from-ethnic-cleansing-to-return-a-peace-process-worthy-of-the-name
