‘Israel was created because it expelled the Palestinians’

The issue of the right of return is at the “very heart of the problem between Israel and the Palestinians”, Ghada Karmi, author of Return: A Palestinian Memoir, tells Al Jazeera.

The fact is that “Israel could never have been set up without expelling the native population, that is, Palestinians, like me, and it continues to survive because it does not permit the return of Palestinians to their homeland”, she said.
