The Zionists invaded Palestine and ethnically cleansed over 750,000 people off their land. That is the war they started, Hamas are just the relatives of the people Israel murdered fighting the occupying invaders. Thankfully they opened the world's eyes to Israel's crimes and now it's a dead man walking. Israel will not last another generation.

From how I understand the history, in 1948, the attacking Arab armies from neighboring countries told the local Arabs (Palestinians) to leave the war zone to be safe. But when Israel won the war, those Arabs could not return.

The way I heard it, there was a bit of everything. There was some attacks because of the violence that had been happening previously, some fled because of rumours of violence, and some were encouraged by the Arab armies.

How do you think Arabic came to be spoken in Palestine?
