      Arab leaders were promising massacres and ethnic cleansing of the Jews from Palestine in the wake of the war. “Throw them back int the sea.”

      Jews in nascent Israel at that time was mostly refugees from Europe, but also Yemen for example. They didn’t have any other place to go to. Nobody wanted them. For them it was fight for their lives or be killed.

      Remember that Jews were ethnically cleansed from the West Bank, Gaza, and Jerusalem. Jerusalem had been majority Jewish for decades and some of the oldest Jewish quarters were in the Eastern part.

      After the war was won by Israel. 800,000 Jews were expelled from Arab and Muslim countries and mostly went to Israel. Adding more Jews to the land with no other place to go to.

      It’s a pretty shit situation overall and was from the beginning.

        Arab leaders were promising massacres and ethnic cleansing of the Jews from Palestine in the wake of the war. “Throw them back int the sea.”

        Why did Arab not ethnically cleansed jews from their countries until Israel ethnically cleansed Palestine from where Israel was created? Because Arabs did not have a problem with jews they have a problem with Zionist who came under pretext of being refuges just to reveal after that that they . You keep removing important fact to make Israel look better. Why did you not mention the nekba?

        Why don’t you mention that zionists also admited to want the whole land?

        after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine - The terrorist and first prime minister of Israel Ben Gurion

        but also Yemen for example The Yemeni jews who came to Palestine was welcomed. Palestinians Arabs and Yemeni jews was participating in each other festivities

        They didn’t have any other place to go to. Nobody wanted them. For them it was fight for their lives or be killed. This is a lie . The Jewish Autonomous Oblast existed . Also just because other countries didn’t want them doesn’t mean recent immigrants has the right to force a state on the local people . Also the part of land jews owned was noncontiguous so the ethnic cleansing of Palestine was inevitable

        After the war was won by Israel. 800,000 Jews were expelled from Arab and Muslim countries and mostly went to Israel. Adding more Jews to the land with no other place to go to. This is true and like I mentioned in the beginning it was Israel who started the ethnic cleansing it doesn’t make the Arab decision right but it is an important detail you shouldn’t remove and not all was expulsed by Arabs for vengeance . Zionists did false flag operations to push some to leave by themselves and even deals with Arab leaders to transfer many jews to Israel

        It’s a pretty shit situation overall and was from the beginning. It is a shit situation because of people like you who both side the occupied and occupier
