This is a list of Palestinian villages depopulated by Israel in 1948, as given by Morris, 2004.
Morris, 2004 vs. Khalidi, 1992:
editMorris, 2004, (=392 villages/towns) and Khalidi, 1992, (=418 villages) ends up with different numbers, because:
- From p.xx in Khalidi: "Bayt Lahm, Waldheim (Umm al-'Amad), Sarona and Wilhelma, all depopulated during the 1948-war, were excluded because, despite the presence of Arab workers and residents, they were not Palestinian villages but colonies set up by the German Templars at the end of the nineteenth century." (That is villages: #140, #141, #206, #217)
- Khalidi does not count the Arab towns (#55 Safad, #98 Tiberias, #126 Beisan, #172 Haifa, #207 Jaffa, #226 Lydda, #227 Ramla, #369 Beersheba)
- For some of the "sister villages", Morris only gives one name, while Khalidi gives two. (#154: Qira, Haifa and Qamun, #196: Ijlil al-Qibliyya and Ijlil al-Shamaliyya, #204:Al-Jammasin al-Gharbi and Al-Jammasin al-Sharqi)
- Mostly; Khalidi names many smaller villages which Morris does not mention

- Nazareth subdistrict in the 1931 census (pop 716; quite big). Zerotalk 05:23, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- Interesting; Khalidi only gives the four villages for District of Nazareth already in the 48-template, though. Huldra (talk)

- SWP map doesn't have it. It appears on a 1944 map as a ruin. The 1931 census includes it under "suburbs of Shafa 'Amr" without an individual count. Grootkerk p166. It might have been the site of a bedouin encampment, since Morris seems to include them. Many of the "Arab el X" sites are encampments probably. Zerotalk 12:11, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
