Thread Name: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
Subject: RE: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
This is a claim that may be true in some cases, but the number of such acts and the number of Jews affected has NOT been shown- so, like the number of children sold by Jewish criminals, how can you count them?

I didn't say we had a hard and fast number for this. It's true that we don't know how many fled because of Israeli activities and how many fled because of problems not related to Israeli activities.

For this reason, it's not really possible to determine in every case, who was responsible for the Jewish refugees, and also for this reason, it's not accurate to say try to fix blame on the countries from which the Jews fled. It's not accurate to try to fix blame on either Israel or these countries. We simply don't know.

In the case of the Palestinian refugees, however, we do know who is responsible. We know that there was a systematic and brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing waged against the Palestinians, causing many hundreds of thousands to flee their homes.
