They left willingly. They believed the neighboring Arab countries were going to drive the Jews into the Mediterranean. They gambled and lost

They left willingly to flee conflict. Their lands were basically stolen by Europeans. They were farmers, carpenters, and not soldiers. The birth of "Israel" meant the displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians who are not allowed to return to their homes, even 70 years after.

I know because this happened to my family. You assholes really think that nearly a million Palestinians left their homes because they were making the way clear for a foreign army (of carpenters, farmers, and the like) to "wipe out Jews?"

This is why the Israel/Palestine situation is so misunderstood - history is twisted and people are brainwashed.
