Ein Hawd: The ethnically cleansed Palestinian village

In 1948, Israel forcibly displaced 750,000 Palestinians and destroyed 531 villages during the Nakba. Their names disappeared from maps and new towns were built over them. The village of Ein Hawd was of the few left standing. Whilst Palestinian residents were expelled, Ein Hawd’s homes, mosques and streets were preserved and repurposed as an Israeli artists’ colony. Today, thousands of tourists visit its galleries and artists’ studios each year, while its original Palestinian residents are denied the right to return.
