Wrong Beletesri. It says nothing - Abu just makes personal attacks. On two or three of the Zionist Myth threads Ashley ate Abu for breakfast, because she DID use facts. Poor Abu tried to extrapolate population statistics for Jerusalem as if they applied to the entire disputed Levant region. She shot him down sooooooo badly.

Well done Beletesri - you have confirmed the cardinal rule of Zionist Myths.
No matter how thoroughly they are debunked, they pop up a short while later as if they are the pure truth. What you stated above is Zionist Myth number 2. Originally I paraphrased this Myth by collating comments from various Zionist web sites as:
QUOTE Zionist Myth 2: The formation of the State of Israel did not displace Palestinian people. 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. When Israel was formed they were only required to go back to whence they came from. UNQUOTE
I hope that you will agree that this says pretty much what you do just using different words.
Unfortunately the Myth 2 thread has been corrupted. Here is what remains of it, thankfully retaining the core discussions:
Myth no 2
Feel free to re-open the case. I still have the Excel spreadsheet with the various data sets for the various population groups. The Joan Peters debate again, anyone?
