This is typical of how you play around with the facts. But I play fair and I'll show you how. Above I noted most Arabs took off without being expelled. Take a look up there when I discussed this matter. You likely missed it as you usually miss the subtle points of discussion. I have said numerous times that in the context of the Jews fighting for their existence against the initial Arab assaults in their rejection of 181 and the later five country Arab ganging up against the nascent State of Israel that the Yishuv and Israel likely expelled about 20% or so of the 600,000 Arabs who left. That's based on Morris's book and other writings. War is hell. But the Jews weren't stupid. They learned the hard way what a "fifth column" mean't.
Expel "the Arabs." Any Arabs. All Arabs.
Stop equivocating. Stop playing silly little semantic games with a two-word statement.

War is hell. But the Jews weren't stupid. They learned the hard way what a "fifth column" mean't.
So you explicitly say they weren't expelled, then say if they were expelled, it's because "war is hell" and they were a "fifth column." Typical Israel-first reasoning.
There is ample evidence to show that many remained, tending their agriculture, and it was the Jews who decided they had to leave.
I used to go to a deli which was owned by a middle-aged Palestinian Christian woman who was expelled in the late 1940's. I'll take her word over yours and the Israeli apologist industry any day.
