"Israeli exterminators": Then IDF unit 504 that made tens of thousands of calls to Gazans and sent millions of SMSes to warn targets would not exist.
If Israel wanted to commit genocide, it already would have and Gaza would have ceased to exist on Oct 8.
"innocent Palestinians": Hamas would win any free election in the West Bank, which is why there haven't been any since 2005. 90%+ Palestinians support Judenrein Palestine from the river to the sea. Watch the Ask Project video interviews, Does free Palestine mean expel the Jews?. It's almost unanimous.
I'm all for sanctioning and arresting violent settlers. But Jews living in Hebron is not the real problem. Peace is not contingent on expelling Jews from Hebron, as the Arabs did in 1929. The correlation of Arab failure to accept Jewish sovereignty with settlements occupation is a very simple number: zero. From 1948-67 there were none and the Arabs' genocidal fervor against Jewish sovereignty was undiminished.
Dr. Einat Wilf, former Labour Party Knesset member (MK) and diplomat on Barak's and Olmert's negotiating teams in 2000 and 2008, shows what drove the massive increase in the Arab population in mandatory Palestine:
"As Hussein foresaw, the regeneration of Palestine, and the growth of its population, came only after Jews returned in massive numbers. The Jewish population increased by 470,000 between World War I and World War II while the non-Jewish population rose by 588,000. In fact, the permanent Arab population increased 120 percent between 1922 and 1947 to more than 1.3 million. This rapid growth was a result of several factors. One was immigration from neighboring states - constituting 37 percent of the total immigration to pre-state Israel - by Arabs who wanted to take advantage of the higher standard of living the Jews had made possible. "
"The Arab population shows a remarkable increase ….. partly due to the import of Jewish capital into Palestine and other factors associated with the growth of the [Jewish] National Home.." (The Peel Commission Report - 1937)
Endless Palestinians names show their country of origin, like Al Baghdadi (from Baghdad), Masarwi - from Misr (Egypt), Mughrabi - from Maghreb (Morocco), Halabi - From Hhalab (Aleppo, Syria)."
Myth: Britain as agent of Jewish colonization. Fact: the British facilitated Arab colonization of Palestine through illegal immigration into mandatory Palestine while giving 78% of it east of the Jordan to the Arabs in 1922. The Arabs had no problem with this first partition that installed an Arabian peninsula Hashemite tribal chieftain on a British-created throne.
Deir Yassin:
Inflating the Deir Yassin Debacle and Mass Panic
The April 9, 1948 Deir Yassin battle - not massacre - at the heart of the Palestinian victimhood origin myth was confession by projection mass panic, as is clear from interviews with survivors:
No Massacre
Deir Yassin was not the peaceful village many later claimed it to be, but a fortified village with scores of armed combatants. Its relations with the adjacent Jewish neighborhoods were troubled for decades and the Jews believed it to endanger the only road from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, thus constituting part of the Arab siege of Jewish Jerusalem. Therefore, although later denying it for political reasons, the Jewish main militia in 1948, the Haganah, sanctioned the attack and later took part in it by means of its striking force, the Palmach.
A ten-hour fierce battle, in the presence of a civilian population, ended in the victory of Etzel and Lehi. No massacre took place. When the battle ended, the killing stopped. "I believe that most of those who were killed were among the fighters and the women and children who helped the fighters," one of the Arab survivors was later to testify.
Like the IDF today, civilians were warned a battle was imminent:
"Furthermore, the Arab villagers got an advance warning to evacuate the village, which 700 of them followed. The attackers took an additional 200 villagers prisoner and safely released them in Arab Jerusalem. Only 101 Arabs were killed, a quarter of them active combatants and most of the rest in combat conditions. The Jewish assailants also suffered casualties."
Arab leaders created a mass panic and escape cascade, creating the Palestinian refugee problem to "make the most of this". Here's how:
For psychological warfare considerations, Etzel reported 200 Arabs killed, twice more than the actual number, enthusiastically adopted by the Palestinian leadership in Jerusalem, which increased it to 254 and added rapes and other gender-oriented atrocities. Hussein Khalidi, the senior Arab authority in 1948 Jerusalem, was of the opinion that, "We must make the most of this." As his assistant Hazim Nusayba reported in a 1998 interview, Khalidi said "we should give this the utmost propaganda possible because the Arab countries apparently are not interested in assisting us and we are facing a catastrophe….So we are forced to give a picture - not what is actually happening - but we had to exaggerate." Khalidi's distortion of the facts failed to prevent catastrophe. Instead, it helped created one.
But Dr. Khalidi, in his confession of genocidal intent by projecting that onto Israeli forces, got the exact opposite of what he wished for:
"Dr. Khalidi was the one who caused the catastrophe," one of the Arab survivors ruled. "Instead of working in our favor, the propaganda worked in favor of the Jews. Whole villages and towns fled because of what they heard had happened in Deir Yassin." The Palestinian leadership intended to exploit the affair to lay pressure on the Arab states to send their armies to Palestine to fight the Jews."
The Arabs projected onto Jews exactly the same intention to "fuck the Jews, rape their daughters" that Hamas carried out on October 7:
"The plan boomeranged. Following the rule that women's honor comes before land, the moment the Palestinians heard about rapes they started to leave."
Israelis and Palestinians believe in two myths about the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem. The Israelis claim that the Palestinians followed their leaders' exhortations to evacuate their homes temporarily and then return with the victorious Arab armies, but that is not what spurred Palestinians to leave. The Palestinians claim that the Israelis expelled them in 1948, but this was not what drove the departure. The true story of the 1948 Palestinian exodus was a flight mainly motivated by panic over a massacre that never happened."
