The Palestinians were "forced to flee by their Arab brethren"? Growing up as a supporter of Israel, I was taught repeatedly that the evidence for that claim were the alleged radio broadcasts instructing Palestinians to flee so that Arab armies from outside Palestine could invade, wipe out the Jews and "drive them into the sea", thus cleansing it for the Palestinians. But Zionist propagandists never provided dates of these broadcasts or radio station identification. This was available because the BBC had monitored all broadcasts in the area throughout 1947 and 1948. Erskine B. Childers, an Irish journalist went through the BBC files and found examples of Arabs begging the Palestinians to stay put! Plan Dalet was organized Zionist policy to drive out as many Palestinians (they were about 68% of the population) in order to make a Jewish state feasible (where they were only about 31% of the population). This was established in part by pro-Israeli historians (Benny Morris) going through the archives of the Jewish state itself, released in the late 1980s/early 1990s. The original sin of Zionism was the slogan "a land without people for a people without land" but there WERE people, they just were not Jewish! Stating these facts and opposing the racist results are as "anti-Jewish" as opposition to apartheid South Africa in the 1970s and '80s was anti Dutch settlers! The question is over ethnic cleansing and massive land theft and won't go away with falsification of history! _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
