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.

This has been completely debunked.

"Thousands of documents in the state and Zionist archives, as well as Ben-Gurion's war diaries, show no evidence to support Israeli claims [that Arab leaders ordered the Palestinians to flee]. In fact, among these sources are documents testifying to the considerable effort of the AHC (Arab Higher Committee) and the Arab states to constrain the flight."

Israeli historian Simha Flapan, "The Birth of Israel", p.85

"There is repeated monitored record of Arab appeals, even flat orders, to the civilians of Palestine to stay put."

Erskine Childers, "The Other Exodus"
