Reply #24: You've quoted Benny Morris before...

as have other pro-Israel posters. I would say he is probably the one historian that both figures are willing to give time to.

The contention that the Mufti told the Palestinians to flee Palestine is a myth. There were times when Palestinians were told to evacuate certain battle zones in order to minimise casualties.

Its quite strange actually - had they not done so you would have accused the Palestinians of using civilians as human shields. Instead, when they actually evacuate civilians you claim that by doing so the Palestinians consented to being ethnically cleansed from their historical homeland.

I can recommend Benny Morris' book "1948" to you. I do so because it becomes increasingly apparent that you have not read anything about the conflict other than the Little Green Footballs site and neo-Kahanist fringe tracts. Notwithstanding that you only read racist websites for the "facts, not the opinions", you might want to read a real book for once. The Amazon link is here:-
