The Palestinian Exodus 1984
No description

by Kelsey Ivers on 28 February 2011 58

Occurred when approximately 725,000 Palestinian Arabs left, fled or were expelled from their homes, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the Civil War that preceded it. The Palestinian Exodus 1948 "The reasons for this mass exodus....were and to some extent remain the subject of fundamental disagreement between Arabs and Israelis." He uses the words of UN mediator Bernadotte, who said that the Palestinians became refugees "in response to 'the hazards and strategy of the armed conflict' swirling around them." First Phase of the Exodus: December 1947-March 1948 Second Phase of the Exodus: April 1948 – June 1948 Third Phase of the Exodus: July–October 1948 Fourth Phase of the Exodus: October 1948 – March 1949 Occurred when approximately 725,000 Palestinian Arabs left, fled or were expelled from their homes, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the Civil War that preceded it. This left abandoned, evacuated and destroyed Palestinian localities. The purpose of the Prevention of Infiltration law was to prevent Palestinians from returning to Israel, those who did so being regarded as infiltrators. The Palestinian Exodus of 1948 left Palestinians unable to return to their homes and this issue still continues today.

Harvard University professor Samuel P. Huntington stated in 2004 that:
“ Demographically, socially and culturally, the reconquista of the Southwest United States by Mexico is well under way. No other immigrant group in U.S. history has asserted or could assert a historical claim to U.S. territory. Mexicans and Mexican-Americans can and do make that claim.[1][2]

According to the United States Census Bureau, as of 2009 and 2010, six out of seven U.S. states with highest proportions of people of Mexican origin were in the Southwestern United States, including the seven modern-day states that used to be part of Mexico - California (30%), Arizona (25.9%), New Mexico (28.7%), Texas (31.6%), Nevada (20%), Colorado (15.1%), and Utah (9.4%).

The Pals are requesting legal immigration to Israel for all Pals, even those who never lived in Israel.

And Israelis from across the globe, ones who have never lived in Palestine, are moving there.

Of coarse you don't; it would otherwise destroy your self-esteem!

You must have completely missed the Wiki article that says,

Quote:

"In a matter of seven months, five hundred and thirty one villages were destroyed and eleven urban neighborhoods emptied [...] The mass expulsion was accompanied by massacres, rape and [the] imprisonment of men [...] in labor camps for periods [of] over a year

Sure, stick around and get killed, raped or imprisoned. What a choice!

The truth of the matter is that the Muslim forces flooded Israel with radio broadcasts urging the Pals to abandon their new country so as to make it easier for the invading forces to destroy Israel and its people.

BTW, the number of Pals abandoning Israel is very uncertain. The number was probably a lot less than the anti-Israel folks say it is.

The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948, when around 120 fighters from the Irgun Zevai Leumi and Lohamei Herut Israel Zionist paramilitary groups attacked Deir Yassin near Jerusalem, a Palestinian-Arab village of roughly 600 people. The assault occurred as Jewish militia sought to relieve the blockade of Jerusalem by Palestinian forces during the civil war that preceded the end of British rule in Palestine.

Around 107 villagers were killed during and after the battle for the village, including women and children—some were shot, while others died when hand grenades were thrown into their homes. Several villagers were taken prisoner and may have been killed after being paraded through the streets of West Jerusalem, though accounts vary. Four of the attackers died, with around 35 injured. The killings were condemned by the leadership of the Haganah—the Jewish community's main paramilitary force—and by the area's two chief rabbis. The Jewish Agency for Israel sent Jordan's King Abdullah a letter of apology, which he rebuffed.

Why don't you discuss the massacre of every Jew living in Hebron when Israel was formed?

This is a clear example of your inability to deal with reality. You've eagerly lapped up a load of half truths and downright lies. Try actually verifying the bullshit that you spout for once. A quick google of the phrase 'Hebron Massacre,' brings up this page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Hebron_massacre

For a start this occured in 1929, before the formation of Israel, and is a consequence of riots. Sixty seven Jews tragically lost their lives, but "Many of the 435 Jews who survived were hidden by local Arab families." So 'every Jew living in Hebron' was not killed. There is a slight whisper of truth is your post, but it's nothing more than that. You've lied, deliberately or through neglect, about the central facts in your posting. This is the action of a propagandist, not someone remotely interested in the truth.

This riot should be condemned, as should all riots, but the reality is a far cry from the pseudohistory you're spouting. Also it needs to be viewed as the actions of a mob, not the systematic violence and brutality orchestrated by a state. Hebron wasn't the only place where mob rule resulted in the murder of innocents.

How many Palestinians have been killed since the creation of Israel?
And how many die everyday at the hands of Isreali soldiers who are "defending" their country?

I'm surprised how many of you can defend what the soldiers do. Yes, Jews have been killed as well, but they are the ones stealing the land, and the number is no where close to how many Palestinians die. The fact is, innocent people have been murdered for the sake of your "holy land", and more keep dying. Thats all the good Israel has ever done to the world.

Approximately 1.5 million Palestinian civilians have died since 1948,including the victims of the ethnic cleansing campaigns in the west in 1948-50 and in the east since 1967. Civilian deaths have escalated dramatically in recent years since the zionists developed their obsession with the Palestinian birth-rate,and children are often the target. There is only a small fine for killing a Palestinian in cold blood. It's based on a weapons charge,not murder.
To understand the genocidal character of this vile regime,one need only glance at the responses from zionists; at least half advocate or at least imply approval of the killing of non-jews. Adocating genocide is by the way a reportable offence on Y/A. Aproximately 2000 civilian Palestinians are killed each year. If you are jewish and you shoot an 8-year-old Palestinian girl in cold blood,you will have your weapons license revoked for three months and pay a fine equivalent to 50-100 dollars U.S. It's considered by the "government'"to be more or less the same thing as shooting squirrals within city limits with a .22. would be in America. Zionists love to murder Palestinian children and they do it all the time. The military handles the mass-murders. We are not talking about suicide bombers or militants; those figures fall into another category. I am referring to wanton killing of civilians.

They are not garbage unless you are able to refute their claims from reliable, credible, sources. You can't.

We're not talking about Syria; it's about "Israel."

The mistreatment of Palestinians by the Jews in Israel is illegal by international standards.

You, Infra, Izzy, et al., work so hard to smear Israel and suck up to the Pals. Moreover, the selective garbage you use for this purpose is very telling.
