Plan D

[Marc39]

The little town of Najd with a population of about 760 had a history that went back over 400 years. It was a farm community that employed irrigation in its agriculture. Before the 1948 war Najd was attacked and its population expelled.

What was the defensive rationale for the attack on this little village?

Arabs expelled themselves.

Historian Benny Morris further edifies...

...on the local level, in dozens of localities around Palestine, Arab leaders advised or ordered the evacuation of women and children or whole communities, as occurred in Haifa in late April, 1948. And Haifa's Jewish mayor, Shabtai Levy, did, on April 22nd, plead with them to stay, to no avail.

Most of Palestine's 700,000 "refugees" fled their homes because of the flail of war (and in the expectation that they would shortly return to their homes on the backs of victorious Arab invaders).

Now, you know.

Note the Palestinian flag on the tower.

Not that the name they chose was relevant, but the idea that Palestinians did not relate to the term until after the 1967 war is propaganda. Their birth certificates said Palestine. Businesses used Palestine in their name. Palestine was on their money. They flew the Palestinian flag. This is a smokescreen issue.

The rights of the inhabitants to self determination embraced in international law is the important factor. The wishes of outsiders have no legitimacy.

Except, Arabs did not recognize any entity called Palestine.

Eminent Middle East historian Bernard Lewis edifies...

For Arabs, the term Palestine was unacceptable...For Muslims it was alien and irrelevant. The main objection for them was that it seemed to assert a separate entity which politically conscious Arabs in Palestine and elsewhere denied. For them there was no such thing as a country called Palestine. The region which the British called Palestine was merely a separated part of a larger whole. Palestine was not a country and had no frontiers, only administrative boundaries; it was a group of provincial subdivisions, by no means always the same, within a larger entity. For a long time organized and articulate Arab political opinion was virtually unanimous on this point.

Eminent Middle East historian Yehoshua Porath further edifies...

The First Congress of the Muslim-Christian Associations which met in Jerusalem in 1919 and brought together thirty delegates fro various parts of Palestine adopted the resolution
"We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria as it has never been separated from it at any time. Weare connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic and geographicaal bonds. We desire that our district Soouthern Syria or Palestine should not be separated from the Independent Arab Syrian government.

And, Arabs, themselves, did not acknowledge Palestine.

Professor Philip Hitti, eminent modern Arab historian, who represented the Institute of Arab American Affairs before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry in 1946...

The Sunday schools have done a great deal of harm to us, because by smearing the walls of the rooms with maps of Palestine they are associating it in the mind of the average American--and I may say perhaps the Englishman, too--with the Jews. Sir, there is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not.

You're done.

[P F Tinmore]

Plan D was merely a defensive plan to combat Arab aggression in the midst of the formation of Israel. Arabs initiated a guerilla war against the Jews in 1947, leading up to the '48 War and Plan D was designed to contain the Arab onslaught. You have never even read Plan D, you dope.

Had the Arabs not attacked the Jews, boundaries would have been established vis-a-vis UN Res. 181.

To the contrary, the plan to clear Palestine of its natives to make room for foreigners was many years old. Plan Dalet was merely a means to implement that plan. Plan Dalet was to send troops to one village after another attacking the civilian population and driving them out. It was an act of aggression against these villages. There was no "defense" involved.

It is true that the Palestinians launched a gorilla war against the foreigners who came to take over their country. A defensive move on their part.

You obviously have not actually read Plan D. Plan D was a defensive plan, not offensive, to combat Arab aggression.

The reason little is actually written about Plan D, particularly, by critics of Israel, is it was a routine military tactic for preventing enemy advances.

Just so you know, Arabs in 1947 were not known as Palestinians, a term they embraced some 20 years later. Indeed, prior to Israeli statehood, Jews, not Arabs, were known as Palestinians. Arabs did not wish to be affiliated with Jews and, thus, did not adopt the term.

There was no need for Jews to evacuate Arabs from the area as UN Res. 181, issued in '47, called for an Arab state along with a Jewish state. Furthermore, Jews violating the terms of UN Res. 181 would have canceled adoption of the resolution endorsing statehood.

Historian Benny Morris, author of the definitive book on the '48 War, "1948", edifies...

In defiance of the will of the international community, as embodied in the UN General Assembly Resolution of November 29th, 1947 (No. 181), they [Arabs] launched hostilities against the Jewish community in Palestine in the hope of aborting the emergence of the Jewish state and perhaps destroying that community. But they lost; and one of the results was the displacement of 700,000 of them from their homes.

Plan Dalet (Plan D), of March 10th, 1948 (it is open and available for all to read in the IDF Archive and in various publications), was the master plan of the Haganah - the Jewish military force that became the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) - to counter the expected pan-Arab assault on the emergent Jewish state. That's what it explicitly states and that's what it was. And the invasion of the armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq duly occurred, on May 15th.

There was no Zionist "plan" or blanket policy of evicting the Arab population, or of "ethnic cleansing

Your problem is not being well-versed in the subject matter and also suffering from an inability for rational thought.

You are the Forum Dunce.

Everyone knows that all of Palestine without the Palestinians was the Zionists STATED GOAL since the turn of the century.

Bogus link.

Jews accepted UN Res. 181 in 1947 that accorded Arab statehood. Thus, Jews were amenable to surrendering land.

In 1937, Jews accepted the Peel Commission partition plan that, too, accorded Arab statehood on 80% of the land. Again, Jews were agreeable to surrendering land.

Earlier, Jews accepted Britain's severing of 80% of the land, Eastern Palestine, assigned to a Jewish homeland and giving it to the Arabs, leaving Jews with a mere 8,000 square feet of land. Eastern Palestine, now Jordan, is about 38,000 square feet in size.

Thus, once, again, you have been undermined by the facts and look like the dunce you are.

All this was taking place BEFORE Israel even existed! The claim that Arab forces invaded Israel is hog-wash. When the Zionist leadership unilaterally declared their so-called state of Israel on 15 May 1948, they purposefully avoided declaring its boundaries to keep their options open for future expansion.
