| "Read your own Israeli historians, why don`t you? I mentioned four of them earlier." You mentioned Benny Morris. I offered a quote that is from him in #17. Here is another Morris, who you yourself have recommended", quote: Starting in December 1947, he said, “Arab officers ordered the complete evacuation of specific villages in certain areas, lest their inhabitants ‘treacherously’ acquiesce in Israeli rule or hamper Arab military deployments.” He concluded, “There can be no exaggerating the importance of these early Arab-initiated evacuations in the demoralization, and eventual exodus, of the remaining rural and urban populations” (Benny Morris, The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited, MA: Cambridge University Press, 2004, p. 590.) Morris also said that in early May units of the Arab Legion ordered the evacuation of all women and children from the town of Beisan. Comments Boycott? |
