Considering 2/3 of Europe's Jews were wiped out, with no help from America.
The Palestinian leader of that time (Arafat's uncle) was an ally of Hitler who wanted all Jews killed.
It's a miracle Jews (many of whom were just out of death camps) survived the united Arab assault on Israel.

Of course the OP is about ethnic cleansing and you didn't bring anything that refutes Morris.

If the goal was to kill, physically remove or scare Palestinians away from Israel, that is indeed... Nitram Oct 2016 #4

How do you know the goal was to remove or scare all Pal'ns from Israel? shira Oct 2016 #5

Um, shira, did you actually read the post you commented on earlier? I'll copy for you. Nitram Oct 2016 #6
