Benny Morris - Wikipedia the free encyclopediaCritics of Israel subsequently latched on to those findings that highlighted Israeli responsibility while ignoring the fact that the problem was a direct consequence of the war that the Palestinians - and, in their wake, the surrounding Arab states - had launched.
"Morris's work on the Arab-Israeli conflict and especially the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has won praise and criticism from both sides of the political divide. He is accused by some academics in Israel of only using Israeli and never Arab sources, creating an 'unbalanced picture'.[3]
"Regarding himself as a Zionist, he writes, 'I embarked upon the research not out of ideological commitment or political interest. I simply wanted to know what happened.'"[4]
What happened was 650,000 Zionists expelled over 700,000 Arabs from Mandate Palestine in order to bring into existence a Jewish state with no more than 20% of its total population being non-Jews.
Honest Zionists have never hidden their intention to colonize Palestine:
"There can be no voluntary agreement between ourselves and the Palestine Arabs. Not now, nor in the prospective future. I say this with such conviction, not because I want to hurt the moderate Zionists. I do not believe that they will be hurt. Except for those who were born blind, they realised long ago that it is utterly impossible to obtain the voluntary consent of the Palestine Arabs for converting 'Palestine'from an Arab country into a country with a Jewish majority."

Benny and Bibi live in times when it's politically incorrect to steal your neighbors' land and water rights; hence they are forced to rely as much on public relations as naked force.
Some of us aren't fooled into blaming their victims for their resistance.
