Wow, this is about the funniest thing you have posted. Posts like this explain the need for a 'Hasbara'. "Meekly accept to be ruled?" they are happier there and participate in government. "names the country after a religion?" Hahahaha! that is new to all of us. Israel is now the name of a religion, according to monti. "evicted the majority of your compatriots?" The population of Israel is around 8 million, 22% of which are Arab/Muslim. That would make it well over a million. There were about 700,000 'compatriots' that left Israel. And I think it could be 50/50 from 'eviction' and Arab League urging.To celebrate people that meekly accepted Jew rule is a bit naive, don't you think. What is there to celebrate about people who meekly accept to be ruled by a foreign invader that names the country after a religion you are not a follower of and that has evicted the majority of your compatriots? I don't get it.
So Israel is not "the Jewish State"?
Again with the propaganda. That's all you seem to know. Why do you rely exclusively on propaganda and not for once do some research using source documents? You just keep digging with the propaganda.
Now the facts:
"a report prepared by the intelligence services of the Israeli army, dated 30 June 1948 and entitled “The emigration of Palestinian Arabs in the period 1/12/1947-1/6/1948”. This document sets at 391,000 the number of Palestinians who had already left the territory that was by then in the hands of Israel, and evaluates the various factors that had prompted their decisions to leave. “At least 55% of the total of the exodus was caused by our (Haganah/IDF) operations.” To this figure, the report’s compilers add the operations of the Irgun and Lehi, which “directly (caused) some 15%... of the emigration”. A further 2% was attributed to explicit expulsion orders issued by Israeli troops, and 1% to their psychological warfare. This leads to a figure of 73% for departures caused directly by the Israelis. In addition, the report attributes 22% of the departures to “fears” and “a crisis of confidence” affecting the Palestinian population. As for Arab calls for flight, these were reckoned to be significant in only 5% of cases..."
