That is a great page to have shown us... it shows why Joan Peter's thinking was turned upside down and this book is the result of her investigation...

No problem! The first thing she hits you with in the book, and the first few chapters, are the Jewish refugees from Arab lands. That were coming to Israel years before 1948. Later on she tells the story of so many Arabs who immigrated to Palestine once the Jews generated more economic activity. Starting with farming and light industry.

Yes... I love the Arab explanation of their love for their native Jewish populations... (sarcasm)
Next book in my list is Bay Ye'or's Islam and Dhimmitude: A Clash of Civilizations. Should prove interesting.

Just a heads-up. Last Friday night on CSPAN -- Dennis Ross and Charles Krauthammer debated the issue of Israel/Palestine and the war on Iraq. It was great. Watch for it... if it comes up again, it is worth the hour and a half.
