Arab radio broadcasts

“The Zionist establishment and the Israeli establishment from more or less 1948, certainly from 1949, said that the Palestinian refugee problem was caused primarily by Arab radio broadcasts, by leaders of the Arab world on the radio, asking or advising or ordering the Arabs of Palestine to leave their homes to make way if you like for the Arab armies who were about to invade to clear the battle field as it were so that they wouldn’t be caught up in the battle and wouldn’t hamper the Arab advances in the prospective war. From the evidence I gathered and I looked at masses of evidence over the years writing the two versions of the book on the Palestinian refugee problem, there is no basis for the allegation that there were radio broadcasts calling on the Arabs to leave Palestine, not by their own leaders and not by the Arab leaders from outside. No basis for it. There simply were no such broadcasts. How do we know this, because the Hagganah intelligence service monitored on a daily basis the radio broadcasts from the Arab world and issued, wrote them down and issued a circular saying what was broadcast in the Arab radio stations hour by hour, day by day.  This was part of the intelligence service’s services to the army and to the political leadership. And you can go over these transcripts, the monitored transcripts, and you won’t find anybody saying leave,  no Arab leader and no local Arab leader.” (Israel historian Benny Morris, Talk in Oslo 27 September 2014, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNwTk2lpBtU)

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions - by Megila

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions. He was the one who made up the story of those Gedolim signing a paper was the Medinah is the aschalta degeulah, and he was the one who doctored the story of the meeting of the Moetzes Chachmei HaTorah in 1937 where he left out the poiastion of people like Rav Ahron Kotler. He wrote a book called HaTekufah heGedolah which is absolutely full of misquotes, fabrications and distortions. His deception has already been exposed and well known to those who have researched this topic. R. Zvi Weinman documented extensively the forgeries of R. Kasher - and he even challenged him in public to respond to his findings when R. Kasher was alive - in his excellent work "Mikatowitz ad 5 B'Iyar." Of course, R. Kasher did not produce any response to the evidence against him. More of R. Kasher's falsifications are exposed in the sefer "Das HaTziyonus", especially his now famous fra

Israel pays students to post favorable comments online.

https://www.facebook.com/FromDarknessToLightTRUTH/videos/760705497393111/ There's a few ways of spotting the paid comment makers. One is they generally go for ad homenum attacks. This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters.  Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

All That Remains

All That Remains: The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948 Paperback – April 13, 2006 by Professor Walid Khalidi, of Oxford and Harvard Universities (Editor). This authoritative reference work describes in detail the more than 400 Palestinian villages that were destroyed or depopulated by Israel in 1948. Little of these once-thriving communities remains: not only have they been erased from the Palestinian landscape, their very names have been removed from contemporary Israeli maps. But to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living in their diaspora, these villages were home, and continue to be poignantly powerful symbols of their personal and national identity. The culmination of nearly six years of research by more than thirty participants, this authoritative reference work describes in detail the more than 400 Palestinian villages that were destroyed or depopulated during the 1948 war. Going beyond the scope of previously published accounts, All That Rema
