1. Hundreds of Thousands of Arabs remained in Israel after `48, if there was a policy to drive them all out how come they didn`t leave.

2. the Jewish mayor of Haifa pleaded with Arabs to stay but they refused. Arab radio encouraged Arabs to leave their homes so they wouldn`t be hurt when the Arab armies slaughtered the Jews.

3. Even if you are right, how can the Arabs complain when in EVERY case where they had the opportunity they expelled ALL Jewish towns and villages? Are you mad because in some cases Arabs were expelled or because Arabs were not more successful in ethnically cleansing ALL of the Jews from this land (which is what they did everywhere they had a chance).

Happy Nakba Day.
