But Not Quite

BBC, in its report on today's expulsion, informs us that

Hebron is the only place in the Israeli-occupied West Bank where a small community of Jewish settlers lives in the heart of a Palestinian city.


A Palestinian city?

Not quite.

An "Arab-populated city"? Perhaps.

Hebron is a Jewish city and in 1929, it was ethnically cleansed by Arabs. It's history as a Jewish city is well-documented and attested to by Jewish and non-Jewish sources.
