other she firmly rosello skating. but. although designated as part of the arab state in one thousand nine hundred forty seven un partition plan jewish forces set their sights on jaffa. during the last week of april bombing of the city intensified the city's inhabitants were forced to flee but shelling by sea to lebanon and by road to east palestine and jordan. by may the fourteenth one thousand nine hundred forty eight the hug had taken control of jaffa seventy thousand of its inhabitants had fled. the remaining males were transferred to central detention camps.

detainees were forced to bury the corpses of fellow citizens now rotting in the streets. they were also forced to transport the contents of arab homes ransacked by jewish finance. kenya to membership in that way of federal government as a lot of here with greedy and ham an even more of a hospital called up and nor can we. make tibet it ham them after but in the one accordance with the democrats with the what took place the two darley own

a and make tibet and began man a belief in which. man has been there done that to a model by modern us getting us on your feet and yet it has your. method i thought i was for me that is just what opiate in a month or so many of us do have a bond with salt but if i've been absorbed in the month of the seventy you must do or should know about of no the. never mind that we're at the we've got another little out of my. being that these are that has us of the wilmot for a year what are the good days you just can't sort of been. in the buried there are you horrible pub we can use the bus or. well battered but that's not what they were going to. let them at the new home. about possible trouble starts when bucky ecomil fit of people. and his at the met in

if it's not enough they took others also the palestinians left of the own accord. and in the expectation of a triumphal return another variant of this version is that the palestinians left on orders from the leaders to clear the decks for the invading. arab armies and their promise that after the great are a victory they will be able to return to their homes so that is the traditional. version and it's completely untrue and there is massive amount of hard evidence to contradict this version half of the palestinians became who became refugees were already expelled from their houses by may nine hundred forty eight so why i could say that out of the five hundred thirty palestinian villages

that were destroyed in the night in forty eight about half of these villages were already demolished by the fifteenth of may. ethnic cleansing is an ideology that wants to get rid of one ethnic group in its entirety from the place where it lives the second stage of ethnic cleansing is to erase these people from the places history so it's also a cultural act of your asia of wiping them out of history of out of memory. and the third stage is to make sure that they will never come back. although the british army was still present in palestine jewish paramilitaries seized control of five major cities some two hundred villages were destroyed.

ahead of the full british withdrawal more than three hundred fifty thousand palestinians were driven from their land. may the fifteenth was the date set for the end of the british mandate. yet for the jews this posed a problem the fifteenth fell on a saturday the sabbath. so celebrates three announcements of the jewish state was sent out a day earlier on friday may the fourteenth. the british army hasten their retreat but the jews had been gearing up to take over in fact they were assuring jewish before the. fourteenth of may a few days before i still got through friday they were in maryland they were geared up fine they were geared up and ready to go. on may the fourteen thousand nine hundred forty eight in

have become much better equipped with heavy and the jews have in their possession their reasoning is a simple one. raf anything in the state of israel and fighting for the only thing they have in their possession it means life or death to them the jewish forces in nine hundred forty seven forty eight they were far stronger even more numerous actually than the combined arab. they were highly. prepare. highly dedicated well armed. fighting force which was superior to all the arab armies by except perhaps one army which the one army which they didn't really take on and they made a deal with really talking about the jordanian army and happy and yes a lot of us are violent to the hurts people seen from me there and then taken as

the admission that he. didn't think. the sun and the couldn't just let it be at that it a shot at them to. also eleven. and who they let that skinny in with and most i didn't look at that just got to be them to come had that i'm taken with the had that of the can one of them are american who really. give america below average for general one hundred damage only in jewish iraq if you look at bally mad dorman book of that was the fact one of the most. bitterly divided disorganized and ramshackle coalitions in the history of modern warfare i got so used in there was lots of people probably got at them not a lot of them would know the plot and huxley difficult and most of the wisdom of the messiah seductive for those people that look believe it's. hard to say would be

your mother so to call her good and to god and to me that's been legal parts of it is your god that's a good job of it you are on what god would have plenty of good out of the real job . you know what about he is kind of the market to sell poseidon bahamas and two days after the arab armies entered palestine the israeli forces drew their focus on a cussed elude. not been knew one woman had not then let the into the phone near on him. and bill them for the month in the month of it and. a lot of the let me see he. fell and ten thousand of its inhabitants were expelled. and naomi. and i did because it's lent. be got better stuff up popped up walk up the well and nod. but not. when you have nothing and nothing left what if you feel bored.

pasha also acted as an interpreter bevin asked holder what do you plan to do and. said we plan to send the arab legion to protect and keep the are a part of palestine and bury him said that seems the sensible thing to do but do not go any the jewish path second of may they met for the last time british officers in the arab legion to find a solution for jerusalem but it didn't work well what else happened in that meeting is that they brought maps which showed where they do then you lead you would stop and would not enter the jew stated. whether do then you need to stop this today the border of the west bank that's how the west bank was great. heather commitment doesn't feel how to feel. go bash the man there is no live one day. on july
