Two Expulsions

From Arizona to the Levant.

On July 12, 1917, vigilantes kidnapped and deported nearly 1,300 striking miners and others from Bisbee, Arizona. This came to be known as the Bisbee Deportation.

On the same day in 1948, Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-​Gurion ordered the expulsion of Palestinians from the towns of Lod and Ramla.
