re: #29 000G

The “indigenous” attribute is meaningless in the context. And of course there had been expulsions of Arabs who had been living in what had up until then been the British Mandate for Palestine in 1948.

a) VERY FEW expulsions, especially when compared to those who simply left
b) No official/legal expulsions
c) Israel allowed back in any who left who still had family who stayed
d) Israel has compensated everyone who could prove they has property (as opposed to those who waved around old keys & swore they had homes - which even the organizers of “Nakba Day” events now admit are “symbolic”)

I’ll agree that it’s meaningless, especially because it’s been trumped up against Israelis.
