"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?

That happens to be a quote from Benny Morris, Israeli historian and Zionist. The 600,000 to 700,000 Palestinians isn’t my estimate; it’s from Israeli Defense Forces archives. In April-May, 1948, units of Haganah were given operational orders to “uproot villagers, expel them and destroy the villages themselves.”

Here’s a quote from Ben-Gurion himself:

“We must expel the Arabs and take their places.”

What Arabs do you think they meant? Perhaps the ones living in Palestine at the time?

Again, I wasn’t there and neither were you. Let’s not rewrite history and ignore actual accounts from Israelis themselves who were there.
