My grandparents lived in the south since before 1948, so you can shove your "settler" crap to where the sun never shines.
I don't care where your grandparents lived in 1947, which European country did they or their parents come from to settle "in the South"? Regardless, Bir as-Sab/Beersheba was an Arab town before 1948, so I'll keep my "settler" comments in the bright sunshine where they belong, thank you.
As your fellow team palestine members report from the Anglo-American study shows the vast majority of arab muslims in Palestine arrived some time between 1920 and 1948. So will they also return to where they originated from. Now what would you say to a person whose grand parents came from Egypt or Iran prior to 1947 after being forced out at gunpoint.
As for Beersheba isn't that mentioned in the Bible 1,000 years before the invention of arabs making it a Jewish town prior to 1948 ?
Which "Anglo-American" study is that then?
I would say, oh bad luck. Your grandparents should have gone to America, or better yet stayed where they were and resisted the Zionist terroists that tried to turn Egyptians and Iranians against their native Jewish population.
The Bible is a fantasy novel, written by religious fundamentalist fanatics who were deported by the Babylonians, so they could keep an eye on them; hardly an unbiased source
