Policy analysis by Josh Reubner examines declassified US diplomatic records from 1948, revealing that American officials were aware of the systematic expulsion of Palestinians during the Nakba. It highlights that US diplomats recognized the deliberate nature of Zionist policies leading to mass displacement and the destruction of Palestinian villages, yet this knowledge did not translate into policy actions to prevent or address the crisis. This source is valuable for research on the Nakba, Zionism, historic US diplomacy, ethnic cleansing, the right of return, and US foreign policy.
