Arab nationalism poisoned relations between Jews and their Arab neighbors... When the State of Israel was declared, the Arab media passed the word that there would be a general slaughter of Jews, and that local Arabs should get out of the way. It is true that in the conflict some Jews, mainly from the Irgun, drove out Arabs, but most scholars agree that the bulk of them left expecting it to be temporary, in panic at the impending attack.

Look for a book called The Gun and the Olive Branch, by David Hirst. Excellent scholarship, everything in it cited and supported. Disturbing material.

I know it's a different period, but does the name Deir Yassin mean anything to you?
