`En Hod (Ayn Hawd)
148,234
34,58 32,42
Zionist settlement. Former Arab village resettled in 1949 as a Moshav, converted to
an "artist's village" in 1954.
More background:
Note the words of the expert to the Jerusalem Post: "'Arab Ein Hawd was occupied in the summer of 1948, and the refugees who were still in the country were not allowed to return for political reasons. The policy of the government was not to settle people in the Arab villages but instead on the agricultural lands.'"
So, whether the refugees were expelled or fled, they "were still in the country" and they "were not allowed to return for political reasons." Those "political reasons" are the ethnic cleansing that is inherent in Zionism.
Further down, the article states: "So in July 1949, the moshav movement settled immigrants from Tunisia and Algeria in the village."
The North African Jews, newly imported through exploitation of their religious fervour and "love of Zion" (i.e. emotional, cultural and religious attachment to the Holy Land, NOT love of political Zionism) were forced to be the vanguard of the settler-colonization of the recently ethnically cleansed Palestinian locales, and were forced to experience personally the acute intolerability of a conflict not of their making.
The story of Ein Hod/'Ayn Hawd also highlights the fact that while the structures in most of the Palestinian communities were demolished, in many places they were left standing, and were merely converted to Zionist uses.
The variety of forms in which the ethnic cleansing program was implemented will certainly impact the exercise of the refugees' right of return insofar as repatriation, re-building, and re-integration are concerned. It also impacts the fight against racist discrimination within the State of Israel, which fight cannot be waged and won within the imperialist-Zionist-PLO sponsored "2 state solution", or any solution that leaves the Zionist state intact.
Ein Hod/'Ayn Hawd also provides food for thought regarding the role and form of cultural boycott, and the role and form of twinning as tactics in international solidarity.
