Ethnically Cleansing | Either in December 1947 or January 1948 the leaders of al-Shaykh Muwannis, al-Mas'udiyya, al-Jammasin, and the mukhtars of 'Arab Abu Kishk and Ijlil met with Haganah representative in the house of Avraham Schapira in Petah Tikva and expressed desire for peace. Despite the commitment of these villages not harbor any Arab Liberation Armies or local Arab Militia, they were all completely ethnically cleansed. al-Jammasin al-Gharbi inhabitants were partially intimidated by the Haganah into fleeing their homes on January 7th 1948, and complete ethnic cleansing on March 17th, 1948. | ||||||||||||||||||
