In fact, it was Arab leaders who ordered their people to flee Israel in 1948, not the Jews. Moreover, the Arabs who remained were granted full rights and citizenship.
The real reason the Palestinians started the war was their refusal to accept that the Jews had come home to the Land of Israel. The Nakba is the embrace of hatred of Jews and incitement to lies based on lies. All these contribute to and create today's conflict. We will never apologize for celebrating our right to self-determination.
