From Benny Morris, regarding the Palestinian exodus having been ordered by Arab leaders. The BBC in particular monitored all radio broadcasts in the region. These are available in the British Museum to any scholar. There is no record of any such Arab orders, as Israel had claimed.


"Had such a blanket order (or series of orders) been given, it would have found an echo in the thousands of documents produced by the Haganah's Intelligence Service, the IDF Intelligence Service, the Jewish Agency's Political Department Arab Division, the Foreign Ministry Middle East Affairs Department; or in the memoranda and dispatches of the various British and American diplomatic posts in the area (in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Amman, Beirut, Damascus, and Cairo); or in the various radio monitoring services (such as the BBC's). Any or all of these would have produced reports, memoranda, or correspondence referring to the Arab order and quoting from it. But no such reference to or quotation from such an order or series of orders exists in the contemporary documentation. This documentation, it should be noted, includes daily, almost hourly, monitoring of Arab radio broadcasts, the Arab press inside and outside Palestine, and statements by the Arab and Palestinian Arab leaders." [Tikkun, Jan/Feb 1990, p80]

LOL!!! How about as multiple contemporaneous A-R-A-B sources have publicly admitted, then; theose same contemporaneous A-R-A-B sources the existence of which you've been scuttling away from in frantic, wide-eyed terror, like Dracula from the cross?

NOT "as Israel has claimed," mind.

AS. A-R-A-B-S ARABS. HAVE. CLAIMED.

Six evasions... and counting.

Rebut... or withdraw.

You're only embarrassing yourself, at this juncture. :)
