The colonization and conquest of Palestine should be regarded as a continuous process that allowed a migrant population mainly from Ukraine and Poland to create the State of Israel at the expense of the indigenous Palestinian people in three phases over the course of the twentieth century.

The ground work for the first phase of the colonization of Palestine began at the conclusion of World War I, when Britain issued the Balfour declaration, promising a land to the Jews, a promise of a country that did not belong to Britain to a people who were a tiny minority in Palestine.

This promise was implemented by the British during their occupation of Palestine from 1918 to 1948 whereby exclusive Jewish migrants were allowed and supported to enter Palestine. The declared objective of these migrants was to eliminate the local Palestinian population presence and, on their ruins, establish Israel a pure Jewish State.

The second phase 1947-1967 witnessed the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by forcibly evicting through Jewish terrorism some 750,000 of the civilian Palestinian population and the complete destruction of 418 towns and villages one of the greatest crimes of the twentieth century.

The third phase 1967 to the present began with the occupation of what remained of Palestine, Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza because of the Arab Israeli war. As a result, Israel became in complete control of all of Palestine, from the Mediterranean Sea to the river Jordan, A process began of confiscation of Palestinian private property for the construction of exclusive Jewish colonies around Jerusalem and in the West Bank This process is ongoing to the present.

The narrative for the three phases is illustrated with maps and photos.
