Thanks for the additional reference by someone who has little reason to fabricate evidence for his report.
This timely contribution from Ashly hammers another, and very stoutly robust, nail into the Immigration coffin.
The statistical refutation of this myth and the references to demonstrate that the main source for Zionist insistence on this mantra, Ms Peter's publication, was thoroughly trashed in the following thread:

I think that everything reasonable has been done to assign "Myth 2 - the Palestinians are recent immigrants" firmly onto the junk pile.
But do not fear. It will come back as a "truth" in the not too distant futute. Such is the nature of the Zionist Myths. |
Silly men...

Myth # 2) The formation of the State of Israel did not displace Palestinian people.

a) There are no "Palestinian" people.
b) Of course the formation of Israel displaced Arabs. So did the formation of Jordan; Syria; Lebanon: Saudi Arabia; and Iraq, just to name a few immediate neighbors.

The vast majority of the Palestinians in the southern Levant arrived there by immigration from surrounding areas about a century ago, following the hard-working Zionists.

"The southern Levant?" That's a Catch-22. The vast majority of Arabs were indigenous to what is today Lebanon; Iraq; Syria; Israel; and Jordan. They lived there then. They live there now.

Eh? No, they were required to co-exist peaceably with the State of Israel. As those that left Israel in '48 and '49 owed their allegiances to an Arab world that was hostile to Israel, those that commanded their allegiances were responsible to absorb them...
