Rruff, I don't know if you are trying to be inane or it's just your nature. After Deir Yassin, there was mass panic and if you read Begin's words "Deir Yassin helped us in particular in the conquest of Haifa ... All the Jewish forces proceeded to advance through Haifa like a knife through butter. The Arabs began fleeing in panic, shouting: 'Deir Yassin!'" 73/," Yigal Allon writes, I gathered all the Jewish mukhtars, who have contact with Arabs in different villages, and asked them to whisper in the ears of some Arabs, that a great Jewish reinforcement has arrived in Galilee and that it is going to burn all of the villages of the Huleh. They should suggest to these Arabs, as their friends, to escape while there is still time. And the rumour spread in all the areas of the Huleh that it is time to flee. The flight numbered myriads. The tactic reached its goal completely. The building of the police station at Halsa fell into our hands without a shot. The wide areas were cleaned, the danger was taken away from the transportation routes and we could organize ourselves for the invaders along the borders, without worrying about the rear". 74/ The terror that spread among the Palestinian population was a crucial factor affecting developments in Palestine. It led to a mass exodus of refugees into neighbouring countries. The number of Palestinian refugees resulting from these hostilities were estimated to number 726,000 75/ by the end of 1949 - half the indigenous population of Palestine. Charges that their flight had been incited by Arab leaders is refuted by a United Nations report noting that the refugees either fled from the war or were expelled: "As a result of the conflict in Palestine, almost the whole of the Arab population fled or was expelled from the area under Jewish occupation". No, I'm not saying the Palestinians accepted Partition. They were pi9ssed and ended up fleeing and remaining pissed for 50 years. Not only was there partition but Israel took most of the other land that was supposed to have been partioned. This was the English Mandate land. So Iraq and Egypt and Syria and others attack and Israel takes the Mandate land and screws the people living on it. Get off the all arabs are the same crap.
