DESCRIPTION:“We must expel the Arabs and take their place,” wrote David Ben-Gurion, 
 one of Israel’s founding fathers and its first president, in a 1937 
 letter to his son.\n\nThat objective is euphemistically referred to as 
 “transfer” in Israeli politics and policy. At our May Salon, a panel of 
 experts will compare ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian 
 Territory with other forced removals of indigenous and ethnic groups in the 
 20th century. What are the legal definitions of “forced displacement”? 
 How does it relate to “crimes against humanity” and “genocide”? 
 What is the role of forced removal in the processes of colonization and 
 nation-building? Does it always involve cultural erasure?\n\nWatch the 
 curated videos at your convenience before the event. Then join us with your 
 thoughts and questions for our speakers at the Q&A Discussion 
 with:\n\nPeter Balakian-Professor, Colgate University; Pulitzer Prize 
 winner for Ozone Journal book of poetry; author, The Burning Tigris: The 
 Armenian Genocide and America's Response\n\nWilliam A. Schabas-Professor,
