Subject: RE: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
WE know nothing of the kind- did you even look at the citations I put up, and WHO said them???

Beardedbruce, hundreds of thousands of them had already been ethnically cleansed months before Israel even declared its independence, and before they were supposed to have been warned by "the Arabs" to temporarily leave.

Secondly, the Arab armies did not fight in any areas that had been given to the Jews in the partition plan, with the exception of a small part of Old Jerusalem. So the only Israelis they were fighting to clear out were the ones who were in the process of taking, by force, land that had been given to the Palestinians in the partition plan.
