theliq, et al,
There are all kinds of events that take place during a civil war. And both sides, in nearly every civil war, claim atrocities by the other side. The losing party usually cries the loudest.
Just as the Palestinians are themselves scattered, Deek posits, so is the responsibility for their plight. Fundamentally, he said, the events of 1948 were driven by the same Arab refusal to recognize the Jewish state that plagues the region today
Author of Best Speech by an Israeli Diplomat Ever Calls Time on Palestinian Narrative of Victimhood INTERVIEW Jewish Israel News Algemeiner.com
The Palestinian's were expelled and driven out of their own lands by illegal immigrant Terrorist Zionist Jews, prior to 1948 others were slaughtered.........your commentary is flawed and banal.......anyhow it's the Jews who Scream the Anti-Semitism line,when exposed, yet most of them are not even a Semitic peoples....only Shepardic Jews and Palestinians are..................Funny your prose actually , it is the Jews who don't recognise Palestine......but being a Rabid Zionist yourself,we all know it is all part of the Zionist Mantra..........you know the guilty Terrorists......you love so much....but despite the Zionist effort of trying to align them as one and the same.....Judeaism is not and never has been Zionism.
(COMMENT)
A low intensity conflict of an intermittent character had been ongoing for some number of years. But when the UN passed the Partition Plan
(November 47), the Arab League began in earnest to support Arab Palestinians by helping to assemble an organized force of approximately 3000 irregular volunteer fighters
(insurgents). The object: to oppose by force the implementation of the the Partition Plan; with the emphasis on preventing the successful establishment of the Jewish State. For a short period of time, fighting was intense during the UK
(Mandatory draw-down and gradual withdrawal); attempting to coerce the UN and the Mandatory into corrupting the process set in motion.
While Jewish organizations cooperated with UNSCOP in its deliberations, the
Palestinian leadership in the Arab Higher Committee decided not to participate, on the
grounds that the United Nations had refused to address the question of independence
and had failed to separate the issue of European Jewish refugees from the question of
Palestine. The natural rights of the Palestinian Arabs were self-evident and should be
recognized, it said, and should not continue to be subject to investigation. The Jewish
leadership maintained before UNSCOP that the issues of a Jewish State in Palestine
and unrestricted immigration were inextricably interwoven. The Arabs, represented by
the League of Arab States, sought the immediate creation of an independent Palestine
west of the Jordan River.

The Arab Palestinian and the Arab League attempted to subvert the Partition Plan, and when that failed, the Arab League planned an invasion of Palestine to coincide with the Israeli Declaration of Independence, using the pretext of protecting the Arab Palestinians from massacre as an excuse.
The first Arab-Israeli war, 1948-1949
On 14 May 1948, Britain relinquished its Mandate over Palestine and disengaged
its forces. On the same day, the Jewish Agency proclaimed the establishment of the
State of Israel on the territory allotted to it by the partition plan. Fierce hostilities
immediately broke out between the Arab and Jewish communities. The next day,
regular troops of the neighbouring Arab States entered the territory to assist the
Palestinian Arabs.

Both the Civil War (Jewish/Arab) and the War for Independence (Israel) are now more than six decade past. While it is great history, it is over. Both sides have to examine the conditions that exist today and find a way to end this conflict. As long as the Arab Palestinian demand that which they could not acquire by force or win by coercion, so long as the cultural imperatives of the Palestinian will be set back.
Most Respectfully,
