What I asked you for was the actual words used at the time by Arab leaders which you claim was the reason hundreds of thousands of Arabs left their homes. You've failed. Historians had by 1959 found out that there wasn't a shred of evidence for the 'Arab orders' idea by going through the newspaper and radio transcript evidence from 1948.
The only evidence found was of Zionist 'encouragement' to leave and Arab insistence on Palestinians not doing so
So, YOU HAVE FAILED AGAIN to provide a single contemporaneous source showing these so-called Arab orders, but let's look at what you have provided.
I) Janurary 21st,1948, the Arab Higher Committee asks neighbouring Arab Nations to desist in issuing visas to "Palestinians" since so many were flooding the borders trying to flee.
IE, Arab states try to stop Palestinians leaving their country. Thanks. That's evidence for my case
II) On 1/30/48 "Ash Sha'ab," a Yaffa (called Jaffa by Arabs) periodical said the folloowing in a printed article, and this is translated into English: "The first of our own fifth column consists of those who abandon their homes and businesses and go to live elsewhere...At the first signs of trouble they take to their heels to escape sharing the burden of the struggle.".
Same again. Palestinians fleeing are castigated for doing so by a Jaffa Arab newspaper. Once again, evidence for my case. Thanks
III) On 3/30/48 another Yaffa periodical "As Sarih' " offered in an article translated here: "Arab villagers near Tel Aviv are bromgomg down disgrace on us by abandoning the villages."
Ditto. Thanks again for the evidence in favour of my case
IV)In the English periodical, no translating needed there, London Daily Mail on 8/12/48 in an interview with Sir John Baggot Glubb,aka Pasha Glubb who was to lead the Jordanian Army despite being British: "Villages were frequently abandoned even before they were threatened by the progress of war."
Once again, evidence for my case. (Do you know WTF you're doing here?) Why did these people abandon their villages? I suggest fear in the face of well-armed and highly organised Zionist militias which had been responsible for numerous massacres and expulsions
V) The Arab National Committee in Hafia, a city Spion finds himnself enthralled with, had its Chairman Hajj Nimer al Khatib wrote the following memo to the HQ of the Higher Community as well as the Arab League, translated for your benefit for the Arab deficient Spion: "(Of Arab Soldiers) They robbed individuals and homes. Life was of little value and the honour of our women was defiled. This state of afairs led many Arab residents to leave the city under protection of British tanks."
Of absolutely no relevance to whether Arabs ordered the wholesale evacuation of Palestine
VI) Well known "Palestinian" terrorist and acolyte of the late Dr. George Habash, Leila Khaled a native of Hafia and certainly no lover of either Jews or Zionists has the following to say about Hafia: "The Zionists were able to snatch Hafia (my home) out from under us, prticularly after Sir John Glubb asha, the Commander of the Arab League of Jordan, ordered his Jordanian Regiment to withdraw in agreement with British plans to evacuate Hafia and ensure Jewish victory
Again - this is of absolutely no relevance to whether Arabs ordered the wholesale evacuation of Palestine. It does, however, illustrate the treachery of the British who abandoned border points between the Haganah/IZL/LHI and the largely civilian population of Haifa which led their mass expulsion - 30,000 - 50,000 people driven literally into the sea - a few days later. Once again, this is evidence for my case
"We will smash the country with our guns and obliterate every place the Jews seek shelter in. The Arabs should conduct their wives and children to safe areas until the fighting has ended." Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Said (NOTICE HIS SECOND SENTENCE).
Hmmm, no date. I suspect it is from May, by which time at least two hundred villages and half a dozen cities had been ethnically cleansed. This proves only the existence of refugees not the reason for the flight
VIII)The Lebanese Arabic periodical "al Hoda" in an article and interview on 6/8/51 about the Arab League General Secretary Azzam Pasha. "He (Azzam Pasha) pointed out that they were already on the fronteirs and that all the millions othe Jews had spent on land and economic development wouls be easy booty, for it would be a simple matter to throw Jews into the Medittarranean....Brotherly advice was given to the Arabs of Palestine to leave their land, their homes, and property to stay temporarily in neighbouring fraternal states , lest the guns of the invading Arab Armies mow them down."
OK, let's see what this 'brotherly advice' said. Show us one single text reported in radio or newspaper reports encouraging the Arabs of Palestine to leave their homes. Don't worry, I know you can't
IX) Or let us look at the words of Arab League London Secretary Edward Atiyah who wrote the following in English, in a book ("The Arabs" pp183) in 1955: "This wholesale exodus was due partly to the belief of the Arabs, encouraged by the boastings of an unrealistic Arabic Press and the irresponsible utterings of some of the Arab leaders that it could only be a mtter of weeks before the Jews were defeated by the armies of the Arab States and the Palestinian Arabs enabled to reenter and retake posession of their country."
He's just wrong. As your first few examples show, neighbouring Arab states did their best to stop Palestinians fleeing
X) Or the memoirs of the then (1948/49) Syrian PM Haled al 'Azm in "The Memoirs of Haled al 'Azm" (Beirut, 1973, pp 386-387):"Since 1948 we have been demanding the return of the refugees to their homes. But we ourselves are the ones who encouraged them to leave. Only a few months separated our call to them to leave and our appeal to the United Nations to resolve on their return (sic)."
Ditto
So, there we have it. You cannot supply a single text of any general order to the Arabs of Palestine to leave their country. Bizarrely you actually in your first examples supply sources showing how the Arab states tried to stop the flight.
This is an old argument. In the more enlightened parts of the world this was resolved as long ago as 1959 when Childers and W Khalidi demolished Kimche on 'the myth of Arab flight'. There was no evidence for it then and there certainly isn't now.
You keep saying Chomsky is unqualified to comment because politics is not his field. Your's isn't history, you're a tree trader or something. I am a historian, now
lech me po and give this nonsense up. You make yourself look more of a fantasist with every attempt to write on this subject
The number keeps going up all the time. You're such a BS-er
