"The terrorist groups - actually they were the Arab leaders who felt they would be victorious and would wipe the out-manned and out-gunned Israelis."

The terrorist groups like the Stern gang. Stop rewriting history rruff. Let certain truths be. Then negotiate from truth. The people in Deir Yassin did not feel like they were going to out gun the Israelis. Doesn't matter how many were killed, they were killed and the event was broadcast and propagated by Israeli's to scare the people out and create reugees. No Arab arimies ever reached that land. Israel moved out and took over more land and did fighting on that land.

Read the chronicles. read the diaries and biographies of the Israeli leaders of the time. Ben Gurion was pissed that he didn't get more land and the desire for "Greater Israel" has been going ever since.

Which Arab leaders, and what makes you think they were confident in victory? Citations, please.

Of course, you'll stammerer around this.


I'm glad that rather than stammer about it, you have chosen to concede that you were lying.
