Your Rev #5 - (5)It happened, but it was the Arab's fault.
"What shall we do with the Arabs ?" Ben-Gurion made a dismissive,
energetic gesture with his hand and said:
"Expel them"

Please note how AGAviator FRAUDULENTLY dealt with the ABOVE QUOTE. He made it appear that Ben-Gurion is referring to ALL THE ARABS THROUGHOUT THE MANDATE AREA (Palestine). This was a bald-faced and fraudulent use of a source. On page 207 of Morris's book, which I have, the reference was to TWO TOWNS: Lydda and Ramle. These were areas in the midst of the war, which the Arabs had started, and which housed Arab irregulars, Arab militiamen, supplies, arms, etc.
