Not yet. It sounds like an interesting read but there's a base question to ask - was he 'expelled' or did he head his Arab brothers and flee Israel with the understanding that he'll come back after it has been destroyed. History shows that this was the reason many (most?) fled Israel was due to this rather than being forced out. There are too many Arabs living in Israel to say that it was a 'cleansing' of any sort. There is a book about a massacre of a town but the historical accuracy of it is in grave doubt.
The bottom line problem with Israel is that we hold them to a totally different standard than anyone else. Tibet comes directly to mind but there are so many other examples. And our involvement with Saudi Arabia has been less problematic to America?
