As I expected, your campaign on Hitchens behalf has ended abruptly when he speaks negatively about Israel.

You said:

If, having determined to fight the partition, they had not evacuated the Arab populations of the cities in Jewish areas, there would have been many fewer refugees.

I thought you meant that the Arab evacuation of Palestinians was the major factor. That is still what I get out of this sentence. Regardless, I am glad we are in agreement. Various exhaustive studies produced either no record of the Arab appeals or a few minimal records of the appeals. It was terrorists like Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, and Elie Wiesel leading the charge to forcibly oust the native population.
