44. The evidence does not back your claims.

"The Israeli historian Benny Morris notes that David Ben-Gurion, soon to be Israel’s first prime minister, “clearly wanted as few Arabs as possible in the Jewish State”. As early as 1938, Ben-Gurion had declared: “I support compulsory transfer.” His logic, concludes Morris, was clear: “Without some sort of massive displacement of Arabs from the area of the Jewish state-to-be, there could be no viable ‘Jewish’ state.

The inhabitants where expelled by the thousands with violence and acts of terrorism by the
Haganah and other militant groups. And then their homes and land was confiscated.

" "The scale of the land theft was astonishing. When the UN passed its partition plan in November 1947, Jews owned roughly 7% of the territory of Mandatory Palestine. By the early 50s, almost 95% of Israel’s land was owned by the Jewish state."

Your very statement: "How can the Israelis be on the hook for things that happened in 1046 before there were any "Palestinians" in the modern sense?" is racist. These were people living both in their villages an in
urban neighborhoods driven from their homes. 1000's died and many more were injured. Rape was common
and looting was rampant. It does not matter what you choose to call them. They were ethnically cleansed from their land and their homes.
