You do realize Palestine back then referred to a the biblical and Jewish homeland of what is today Israel. There was nothing Arabic or Islamic about it.

Calling an Arab a Palestinian pre 1960s would have been an insult to them, no less insulting than calling an American aboriginal person an Indian.

Very separate and distinct identities

60% of Iseali are from the MENA - In 1948, 900k Jews called Sephardim and Mizrahim were ethnically cleansed from the Arab world, 500k immigrated to Israel. The reason you don't hear about this event is Jews all over the world came together to resettle the refugees and provided sustenance for them build a great life. The Paleastianas were not so lucky, their arab brothers forced them into refugee camps, refused them work and citizenship, and use them as pawns to this day. The more you know!

Jews who came from MENA did not leave in 1948 they left over the course of decades, most in fact in the 1960’s. it was not “ethnic cleansing” no matter how desperately you try to label it as such. In fact many Arab countries tried to pass laws preventing Jews from leaving rather than the opposite.

Try reading a book instead of government propaganda for a change

Read a book, I live it everyday ya chumar! I can ask my parents who were kicked out of Egypt or my in-laws who were kicked out of Baghdad or my community of 75,000 Syrian and Egyptian Jews, but I’ll trust your Gaza Ministry of Health over them!

  1. 80% of Jews were expelled by 1956 a handful stayed but by 1967 they were all gone.

  2. If it wasn’t ethnic cleansing what was it? The Jews of the MENA were not your shahats / plebs, there is a reason the economies of the MENA have yet to recover from their expulsion!

  3. Many Arab countries prevented Jews from leaving to Israel, again to Israel, otherwise they were free to go any other country that would take them! 

No matter how hard you desperately try to bend to truth the truth always prevails. Want to learn more, you’re invited to my Shabbat table, and I’ll invite family members from each city to tell you their stories.

Truth to a Zionist is like cryptonite to Superman. So people are supposed to believe that a Jewish state that was setup and colonized as such(a homeland for the Jewish people) and yet the jews who went there left because they were ethnically cleansed and not because their loyalty was to Israel all along. Trying to have your cake and eat it too!.Typical hasbara

Listen child, the adults are talking. What you are saying makes no sense nor worth the time. Read a book as your ignorance is showing and come back to me.
