That is a flagrant lie. The Arab countries ordered the Palestinians to stay put

Not you again.

As you already know, but for the information of the thread, I quoted to you from a photographed British police memo dated April 1948, where the British Police District Commisioner of Haifa -- hardly a Zionist -- discussed his negotiations with the Arab leaders of Haifa regarding their determination to evacuate the Arab population of the city before the end of the Mandate.

You did not reply; you never do when presented with hard evidence that contradicts your point of view. You just keep mouthing the party line from Electronicintifada.

I will be glad to repost the evidence if anyone on the thread is interested.

Tom, those are interesting things you are writing. I always thought that Nadine's version was correct. What are your sources?

The UN partition was grossly unfair to the Palestinians. Jews owned 6% of the land and had 30% of the population, but got 55% of the land in the partition.

You insist on using these figures even after they have been proven to be self-serving at least if not outright false.
