The truth about Deir Yassin

Jackie, don't lie!

The use of the word Palestinians for the Arabs of the region was invented by Yasser Arafat in 1971! Beforehand, the British used to call the Jews Palestinians as a derogatory remark!

Your "FACT" number 1 is blatant!

The Palestinians left their homes in 1947–49 for a variety of reasons. Thousands of wealthy Arabs left in anticipation of a war, thousands more responded to Arab leaders’ calls to get out of the way of the advancing armies, a handful were expelled, but most simply fled to avoid being caught in the cross fire of a battle.

Palestinians who later became refugees were told to leave their homes to make way for the invading Arab armies. In fact, in recent years, more Palestinians have come forward to candidly admit this truth.

The Economist, a frequent critic of the Zionists, reported on October 2, 1948: “Of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained. Various factors influenced their decision to seek safety in flight. There is but little doubt that the most potent of the factors were the announcements made over the air by the Higher Arab Executive, urging the Arabs to quit. . . . It was clearly intimated that those Arabs who remained in Haifa and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.”

The Arab National Committee in Jerusalem, following the March 8, 1948, instructions of the Arab Higher Committee, ordered women, children and the elderly in various parts of Jerusalem to leave their homes: “Any opposition to this order . . . is an obstacle to the holy war . . . and will hamper the operations of the fighters in these districts.” The Arab Higher Committee also ordered the evacuation of “several dozen villages, as well as the removal of dependents from dozens more” in April-July 1948. “The invading Arab armies also occasionally ordered whole villages to depart, so as not to be in their way.”

They lost the war! And that wasn't Israel's fault, because at that time, Britain and America were arming and financing the Arab armies! Only Czechoslovakia helped supply Israel with old military hardware! And even though Israelis were outnumbered by more than 160:1 they won!

After the war, the Arabs who stayed in Israel were offered equal opportunities.....in schools, in jobs, in fact in every field of life! They used the same transport, are in the same restaurants, etc. And as of today, Israeli Arabs have a better life than they would in any Arab country! They can, with hard work, reach the top of their field..... in most Arab states, it's all about who you know!

The head of the Israeli judiciary is an Arab..... what Arab countries in the middle east have Jews heading any field? In fact, what middle eastern Arab countries have any Jews? Most are Jew free, because of persecution, pogroms and ethnic cleansing!

You are repeating yourself about your father-in-law. In French it is called radoter. Early Alzheimer's maybe?

Israel existed for the past 4000 years. The so-called Palestinians never existed.
