In the early 1920s my father had left the city of Nablus, where he was born, and moved to Beisan with his wife, their two small children, and his aged father.
And since Beisan had no Arabs left to live in it, it was out of bounds.
The Beisan we knew was left to gradually become a ruin while a new Israeli Jewish town was sprouting on the edge of it.

Fifty years ago, the 6000 Palestinian inhabitants of the town of Beisan, in the Jordan Valley, were displaced by Zionist Jews.
Some of the Palestinians fled in terror having heard what the Zionists had done a few weeks before in the village of Deir Yasin, on the outskirts of Jerusalem, when dozens of innocent men, women, and children were massacred.
Beisan has come to encapsulate for me the tragedy of Palestine when three quarter of a million Palestinians either fled in fright or were driven out by force to make room for the creation of the state of Israel.

 Beth Shean (Life in the Holy Land)
From the Fountain of Harod to Beisan, the modern representative of Beth-shan, is a pleasant ride of about nine miles.
Up this it was comparatively easy for a little band of active mountaineers to ascend in the night, to scale the wall, to remove the bodies, and to carry them away beyond the Jordan, most probably without being seen.
The houses are mostly of mud, and the general aspect is that of a village on the banks of the Nile.

On the north our cavalry, traversing the Field of Armageddon, had occupied Nazareth, Afule, and Beisan, and were collecting the disorganized masses of enemy troops and transport as they arrived from the south.
All avenues of escape open to the enemy, except the fords across the Jordan between Beisan and Jisr-ed-Dameer were thus closed.
East of the Jordan Arab forces of the King of the Hejaz had effected numerous demolitions on the railways radiating from Deraa, several important bridges, including one in the Yurmak Valley, having been destroyed.

The estimated for the Beisan and Huleh areas will need revision in the light of the further knowledge already acquired and of the reports of preliminary irrigation surveys, when undertaken.
Similarly, in the direction of Beisan, it would be imprudent to try to acquire areas where the rainfall is so precarious as to make failures much more probable than successes.
The frosts which occurred in December even in the Coastal plains and as low down as Beisan, have damaged some of the banana plantations and not only destroyed masses of fruits on the trees themselves, but possibly a proportion of the trees themselves.

 Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign: The people of Bardala stand up against the destruction of the Jordan Valley
From Bardala, the people marched against the checkpoint erected on the borders of Bardala and Beisan, a village on the other side of the Green Line.
The crowd gathered despite the attempts of Occupation forces to thwart the popular mobilization by closing down the entire area via erecting numerous checkpoints to block potential demonstrators from reaching Bardala.
The demonstrators called for the checkpoint’s re-opening to preserve vital access to Palestinian markets on the other side of the Green Line and foremost for continued resistance against the Occupation and the continued land theft occurring for the benefit of Jewish settlers.

The Moslems, seeing this, came to the Sultan, and advised him to retire, because their supplies were running very short.
Besides, he had inflicted severe loss upon the enemy, both in killed and in the prisoners he had taken; and had destroyed several of their villages, such as 'Aferbela, the stronghold of Beisan, and Zer'ain.
He therefore retired, victorious and triumphant, and halted at el-Fawar, where he gave leave to such of his men as wished to return to their homes.
