By In addition, the new Israeli state continued, through several wars, to increase its borders by gobbling up more land from the areas earmarked for the creation of a Palestinian state, so that nowadays the Zionist state consists of 82% of the total of historic Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>The rest is made up of the so-called Occupied Palestinian Territories Gaza and the West Bank, two small portions without territorial continuity where - especially in Gaza - 2.5 million Palestinians live in overcrowded conditions, most of whom are refugees expelled or fled from the annexed lands.<br \/>\nMoreover, this 22% of divided historic Palestine is itself militarily occupied since 1967 and is continuously colonized by Israeli settlers, while the territory is fragmented into uncommunicated Bantustans, interrupted by dozens of Israeli settlements and hundreds of military checkpoints and roads for the exclusive use of settlers.<\/p>\n<p>In 1948 the Zionist dream came true. The fledgling state of Israel launched an ethnic cleansing designed and executed by Zionist terrorist militias that became known as al-Nakba, or \"the catastrophe\", the moment when Palestinians were forced to leave their homes and move mainly to Gaza and the West Bank, the present-day Palestinian territories. It was an episode of enormous significance in the identity of the Palestinians today and involved the destruction of more than 600 villages and the expulsion of more than 750,000 people who today, more than 75 years later, have become more than 5 million refugees, the largest and longest-lived refugee population in the world. The impact of this ethnic cleansing, physical fragmentation and psychological dislocation on the entire Palestinian people was devastating.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-th9qr-8c8d2c818abb544bb0eab326467930c6\">\n.avia-image-container.av-th9qr-8c8d2c818abb544bb0eab326467930c6 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-th9qr-8c8d2c818abb544bb0eab326467930c6 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-th9qr-8c8d2c818abb544bb0eab326467930c6 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  img-margins-top-bottom'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-153 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-153 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/womenforpalestine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WfP-Palestine-shrinking-expanding-israel_ENG.jpg\" alt='' title='WfP-Palestine-shrinking-expanding-israel_ENG'  height=\"1459\" width=\"2000\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/womenforpalestine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WfP-Palestine-shrinking-expanding-israel_ENG.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/womenforpalestine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WfP-Palestine-shrinking-expanding-israel_ENG-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/womenforpalestine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WfP-Palestine-shrinking-expanding-israel_ENG-1030x751.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/womenforpalestine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WfP-Palestine-shrinking-expanding-israel_ENG-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/womenforpalestine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WfP-Palestine-shrinking-expanding-israel_ENG-1536x1121.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/womenforpalestine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WfP-Palestine-shrinking-expanding-israel_ENG-1500x1094.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/womenforpalestine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/WfP-Palestine-shrinking-expanding-israel_ENG-705x514.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-208sz-4d3faf9866af919b6223b712163f1b20'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Since the proclamation in 1948 of the state of Israel, the Palestinian population has been fragmented into three main groups:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>the refugee population divided between those who were forced to leave Palestine to the neighbour countries as a result of the 1948 ethnic cleansing;
