In the book “The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem” (1947-1949) by Benny Morris, a Jewish professor of history at Ben-Gurion University, quotes:

“A Jewish state would not have come into existence without the uprooting of 700,000 Palestinians. There are cases in which the overall, final good justifies harsh and cruel acts that are committed in the course of history.”

I support Israel, its being the only democracy in the Middle East and the enemy of the Islamic terrorists. But at the same time, let’s not rewrite history about the birth of the state of Israel.

"A Jewish state would not have come into existence without the uprooting of 700,000 Palestinians...."

And how were these so-called "palestinians" uprooted with the creation of the Jewish state?

There are no "palestinians" but for various conglmerations of islamist arabs who are at war with Israel, and with US, and by virtue of their being islamist should be killed en masse.

How many Muslims then are islamist?

Arab states uprooted 800,000 Jews. They could have easiy absorbed their fellow Muslim Arabs, but chose to keep them in refugee camps for 60 years in order to create rabid attack animals to use against Israel.

Get a brain. Open a history book. 600,000 Jews were booted from Arab nations.

+++++ Where do Muslims get off bitching about five million Jews in the Middle East when Muslims are invading Europe via immigration and explosive birthrates

Benny Morris is one of a group of revisionists called the New Historians which is a group of guilt filled extremely self-hating leftwing revisionist that attempt to revise history to blame Israel for the sun rising in the east and the sun setting in the west and for everything bad that happens under the sun. Dr. Efraim Karsh obliterated Benny Morris’s scholarship, or lack their of, regarding that piece of crap book that you are referencing. In other words, Morris is an idiot!
