🚨 This debunks the entire Nakba narrative. On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion stood up and read the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel. Outside the hall, war was already underway. Arab militias had been attacking Jewish communities for months, and five Arab armies were preparing to invade. And in this part of the speech Ben-Gurion said to the Arabs: “We appeal in the very midst of the onslaught launched against us now for months, to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the upbuilding of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its institutions.” It was said during the war itself. What this means •Arabs living in the territory were explicitly invited to stay •They were promised full and equal citizenship •Participation in the new state was offered from day one The idea that Arabs were collectively expelled as a founding policy collapses when confronted with Israel’s founding document read aloud, on camera, at the moment of statehood. History is complex. But some claims simply don’t survive the primary source. This clip is one of them.

This is the story they don't want you to know about the 1948 War. The day after Israel declared independence, surrounding Arab armies invaded the nascent state to wipe it off the map; and every time the Arabs overran a village, they killed or expelled every Jewish inhabitant.

Five Arab armies invaded the nascent State of Israel in 1948 to annihilate it in the crib. They lost. Then they invented the story that the Jews were the aggressors.

Arab massacres of Jews in 1948 went far beyond Lydda and Ramle. Just one day before Israel declared independence, Arabs massacred 120+ Jews at Kfar Etzion after they surrendered. The “no prisoners” policy and thirst for Jewish blood was widespread in 1948.

The “Nakba” didn’t begin in 1948. The “Nakba” - a term originally coined by Constantin Zureiq to describe the “catastrophe” of 7 Arab armies failing to “erase Zionism”, didn’t begin with the official Arab invasion into the land of Israel on May 1948. It began on November 30th 1947 - one day after the United Nations voted on the partition plan for creating a Jewish state on Jewish majority owned land, and an Arab state on Arab majority owned land. A solution that would have required no one to leave their homes. Instead of accepting the plan and establishing an Arab state, the Palestinian Arab leadership Initiated a war - beginning with the Fajja bus attacks on November 30th 1947, the attacks on Mamilla shopping center on December 2nd 1947, the attack on Kibbutz Efal on December 4th, and the large scale attack of the “Holy Jihad Army” on Hatikvah Neighborhood in Tel-Aviv on December 8th 1947. The road to Jerusalem was blocked in an attempt to starve over 100,000 Jewish residents there. And although the neighboring Arab states declared they will not enter until May 1948 (when the British would leave). However, they established the “Arab Liberation Army” which invaded on February 1948, Egypt sent in the Muslim brotherhood “volunteers” to attack Kfar Darom, and Jordanian Arab Legion attacked Gush Etzion both on April 1948. So no, “it” didn’t begin in May 1948.

In 1967, the Arab world united to eliminate Israel. Nasser expelled the UN from Sinai, closed the Straits of Tiran, and called to wipe the Jewish state off the map. Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq put armies in the field. Saudi, Kuwaiti, Algerian, and other contingents moved or were pledged. The Arab goal: annihilate Israel. That was the war Israel was forced to fight. Israel refused to die. It stood up, fought, and won.

Today we celebrate three historic milestones: the day on the English calendar when David Ben Gurion declared Israel’s independence, the 8th anniversary of President Donald J. Trump Trump’s courageous establishment of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, and Yom Yerushalayim — the liberation and reunification of Israel’s indigenous and indivisible capital under Israeli sovereignty. Happy Jerusalem Day!

"Palestinian nationalism" originated with a call for jihad against Jews. Not the desire for a state. Hence Arab massacres of Jews in 1920, 1921, 1929, 1936-1939, and the attempted genocide of all Jews by Palestinian Arabs and the armies of neighboring Arab countries in 1948.

When Arabs invaded in '48 and “overran Israeli villages, the inhabitants were either expelled or killed.” Arabs “thought it was going to be a pushover - that the Jews were going to run away once they saw the Arab regular armies.” All assumed Israel “would only last a few days."

About Dier Yassin (1948) | In the 1998 PBS documentary, "The 50 Years War Israel And The Arabs," Hazem Nusseibeh (a prominent Arab diplomat) and Abu Mahmoud (a resident of Deir Yassin) detail the events surrounding Dier Yassin in 1948. Nusseibeh, who met with the Palestinian Arab leaders after the attack on the village, details how the Arab leaders decided to exploit the event, lying about rape in the village in the hopes that the Arab armies would invade. Nusseibeh explains how the press release backfired, instead causing Arabs to flee in terror from their villages after they had heard the false reports of rape. Later in the 2008 BBC documentary, "The Birth of Israel," Nusseibeh would backtrack and say that it was the Israeli massacres which caused Arabs to flee their homes. Full Documentary: Palestinian Leader Hazem Nusseibeh admits to false reports of rape at Dier Yassin, On the eve of the Arab invasion of the newly declared State of Israel, Azzam Pasha, the Secretary-General of the Arab League in 1948 declared, "This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades.”[✝︎ Howard M Sachar, A History of Israel (New York: Knopf, 1979)p. 333] This widely reported declaration has since been frequently cited to exemplify the immense animosity and aggression of the Arab states towards Jews and the newly formed state of Israel at that time. It was made immediately following the United Nations’ partition plan for Palestine, which was accepted by Jewish leaders but rejected by the Arab side. For more perspectives that you’re likely unfamiliar with you can see the following interview with Hazem Nusseibeh and Abu Mahmoud; and if you really wish to upset your entire world view, I suggest reading the post attached directly below this clip of their direct testimonies.

Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff dismantled the Palestinian narrative with cold historical facts. There was never a sovereign Arab state called “Palestine.” The British Mandate of Palestine was simply British administration over the historic Land of Israel after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Jews lived continuously in the land for centuries — including under Ottoman rule, when they formed the majority in Jerusalem. Before 1909, Tel Aviv was empty desert legally purchased by Jews, who built it from nothing. No Arabs were displaced. After the British handed the mandate to the UN, the Arab world rejected the partition plan and launched a war to destroy the Jewish state. Arab armies and local militias tried to “push the Jews into the sea.” At the same time, Arab countries ethnically cleansed their ancient Jewish communities, forcing nearly a million Jews to flee to Israel. During the war, Arab leaders ordered local Arabs to evacuate combat zones so their armies could annihilate the Jews. Many of those who left later became permanent “refugees” under Egyptian and Jordanian control. Israel has never committed genocide — and never will. By defending itself, it prevents another holocaust. Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic regime of Iran are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East. Retweet if you support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.

‼️Holding a poster of Israeli terrorist Itamar Ben-Gvir, a man in Gaza city's markets erupts in fury at the Arab world's silence following the Israeli Knesset's passage of the "Prisoners Execution Law." He points directly at Ben-Gvir as the one who deserves to face justice, not the Palestinian hostages he is pushing to execute. Speaking from inside a besieged and bombed Gaza, he calls on Palestinians in the 1948 territories, the West Bank, and Jerusalem to rise, demanding to know why Arab governments and the Arab nation at large remain silent while their people sit on death row in Israeli occupation jails.

In Sakhnin, inside Israel, tens of thousands of Arab citizens protested today, with estimates ranging from 50,000 to 100,000, over crime in Arab communities. This is Israel. Arab citizens vote. Organize. Protest the government openly and legally. There are 22 Arab-majority countries. About 49 Muslim-majority countries. In how many of those countries can Jews or any other non-Muslim minority do the same?

Israel’s Independence Day involved violently pushing 750,000 men, women and children of their land… There were at least 16 massacres before a single Arab army tried to stop the genocide.. 200,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed before they announced their Independence Day on May 14, 1948..🇵🇸🇮🇱

Mamdani said at a press conference today that "acknowledging one people's pain does not preclude acknowledging another's." His Nakba Day video and press conference called all 700,000 Palestinians "expelled" — historians document they fled for multiple reasons, some were encouraged to leave by those expecting a swift Arab victory. He repeatedly says "Nakba survivor" in the video and press conference, a term coined to invoke Holocaust equivalence. Both Jews and Arabs lost roughly comparable percentages in 1948 — less than 1%. Neither approaches the Holocaust death rate of two-thirds of European Jews. His Nakba Day video and press conference mention none of this: the war Arab states declared to destroy Israel, the partition rejection, or the 850,000 Jews expelled from Arab lands in the same years.
