Israeli lawmakers unanimously approve first reading of anti prostitute solicitation law (Ch. 10)
Nur Masalha's "research" is no more based on "declassified Israeli archives" than your post is. What it is a cut and paste of Benny Morris's work, spliced together to the writer's prejudices - ie to show that Israeli is a racist, expansionist state. It is full of items that are - at best - ambigious, at worse, deliberately misleading. An example is Weitz's very short-lived "transfer commitees", which contrary to Masalha's portrayal were about transfer of property not people. Sit and think about a moment - the number of Palestinians leaving Israel was in direct inverse proportion to Israel's military might. Cut out the middle man and read Morris possibly counterbalanced with Yoav Gelber's book - both I believe are in English.
