1948 State of Israel was NOT a Fulfillment of Prophecy – It was an Ethnic Cleansing Massacre (Nakba)
Throughout my life I have had many Christians tell me that the 1948 establishment of the State of Israel was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. This idea is drilled into Christians, mainly Evangelical Christians, from an early age through the teaching of Christian pastors and Sunday School programs. Hidden behind this unbiblical belief is the true history of the war of 1948, and the ethnic cleansing massacre that took place by Israeli military forces against innocent civilians, including women and children, a history that is also censored among most Jews. The Palestinian people refer to it as the "Al-Nakba," which means "massacre". The Israeli government does not allow the word "Nakba" to be used in textbooks for school children, not even Palestinian school children. But in recent years some Jewish documentary producers have exposed the truth of what really happened in 1948, by interviewing the people who actually lived through it. One of the most explosive documentaries exposing the horrors of 1948 is the documentary "Tantura: The Untold Story of the 1948 Massacre", which was directed by Israeli filmmaker Alon Schwarz in 2022. This is a masterful documentary, as Schwarz interviews all parties involved, including former military personnel who admit to the facts, and others who deny them. I learned a lot about how many Jews view this period in their history, which is very controversial, and how those who know the truth handle knowing this horrible truth. Five years before this documentary was published, a similar documentary was published in 2017 titled "Born in Deir Yassin", by Israeli Director Neta Shoshani. If you are a Christian who has been taught this evil lie that God orchestrated the entire campaign of the Israeli forces to conduct ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people in 1948 resulting in fulfilled prophecy, or if you are a Jew who has been taught that only Arab soldiers died in battle in 1948 and that the Palestinian people left their homeland willingly, please take some time to watch these documentaries and learn the truth from the mouths of the people who were actually there, and who participated in this awful war.
