Israel ethnically cleansed Palestinians in 1948, and created hundreds of thousands of refugees by kicking them out of their homes

The Israeli Response

It was the Arab leaders' war in an attempt to destroy the Jewish state, and despite Israel's peacekeeping efforts, that caused the displacement and death of Palestinians in the Nakba.

Key Points

What were the events that resulted in the Nakba?

See argument: What were the events that resulted in the Nakba? In the claim 'Israel expelled Palestinian Arabs from the British Mandate "Palestine.'"

Israel did not commit ethnic cleansing

Ethnic Cleansing UN definition: "Rendering an area ethnically homogeneous by using force or intimidation to remove from a given area persons of another ethnic or religious group."

The IDF used a miniscule amount of force to conquer militarily strategic areas and to fight Palestinians who joined the hostile Arab armies to fight against Israel from within

See argument ‘Israel did everything in its power to maintain peace with the Palestinians’ in claim 'Israel expelled Palestinian Arabs from the British Mandate "Palestine.'"

Palestinians who did not betray Israel became equal citizens after the war and are allowed to practice Islam and maintain their culture today (2023)

This self-defense procedure taken does not qualify as ethnic cleansing

The Palestinian claim about the supposed expulsion of 700 thousand Palestinians in 1948 is invalid

see claim: Israel is Muslim territory'"

In reality, all claims against Israel are actually claims against the Arab leaders who brought death and poverty upon the Palestinians.

Conclusions

History, UN definitions, and the charters of Israel's enemies all indicate that the actual source of the suffering of the Palestinians is not Israel, but rather its Arab neighbors, who use the Palestinians as pawns in their game of antisemitic chess aimed at destroying Israel.
