Who Was Responsible for the "Refugee" Phenomenon in 1948?

Palestine Media Watch brings us a refugee from Mandate Palestine, Muhammad Khana, who complains that those that left were ill-served by lying Arab propaganda and media that made the Arabs leave in 1948 during Israel's War of Independence.

He was interviewed on the official Palestinian Authority TV's program "Source of the Story" on May 13, 2025 and declared:

"[In 1948, the Arab] propaganda and media had a central role in us leaving. The media and propaganda, the propaganda [claimed] that there is a horrifying [Jewish] force coming."

In a previous interview in 2022 with Khana, he was more explicit: The Arab media "lied and deceived" people, claiming that the Jews "killed and slaughtered," which made Arabs flee.

Having him on a second time obviously points to the PA considering him reliable.

Moreover,  a "Palestinian settlement affairs" expert Khalil Al-Tafakji recently confirmed Arab responsibility for the refugees leaving, saying they left because the Arab leaders told people to leave in 1948, promising them they would return shortly.

So you refute the research done by Ilan Pappe in his book, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. The source of his knowledge is the Israeli National Archives. The evidence is irrefutable, over one million people were forced off their land at gun point. If you can deny that then you can accept that some people deny the holocaust. There will never be peace in Palestine until the descendants of those people have a right to return to their homeland. I think you know that. It has taken Benjamin Netanyahu nearly two years to decimate the sympathy that the Jews gained from the holocaust. Soon it will all be gone. When it is all gone, all the sophisticated weapons and high tech surveilance aparatus will not make Israel safe. Your precious little experiment will be cancelled. It will, hopefully be replaced with a Palestinian state of 3 sections: Gaza, The West Bank and the Occupied area you call 'Israel'. That section will have to be administered via a power-sharing arrangement like in Northern Ireland. The Jews and the Non-Jews will be forced to get along, just like they did for the last 2000 years, before the European and U.S. interlopers turned up and ruined everything.
Of all the people in the world, the people of Israel should be opposed to the actions of Netanyahu, because you have the most to lose, everything!

Ilan Pappe is not a "hhustieisb" but a propagandist. See also what respected Benny Morris said on him "the liar as hero" (03.17.10 TNR). For me it was enough that Pappe took such an outrageous "source" in his book the infamous Issa Nakhleh the glorifier of Hitler regime in his propaganda in the 1950s Argentina, then in the US he worked with supremacists most of his career.

Arab "Palestinian" Terror: A Legacy of Violence Against the United States

While Israel has long stood as a reliable ally to the United States—sharing democratic values, intelligence, and strategic cooperation—the same cannot be said for elements within the Palestinian movement. Despite years of attempts to frame the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a one-sided struggle, history reveals a troubling pattern: individuals of Palestinian origin or ideology have repeatedly targeted Americans with violence and terrorism.

A History of Anti-American Terror Tied to Palestinians.

Yasser Arafat and the Khartoum Murders (1973)
Often romanticized as a political leader, Yasser Arafat was directly linked to the tragic events in Khartoum, Sudan, where U.S. diplomats Cleo Noel and George Curtis Moore were brutally murdered by the Black September Organization—an arm of Arafat’s Fatah faction. The U.S. government later confirmed Arafat's personal involvement in the attack, demonstrating early and direct hostility toward American officials.

Sirhan Sirhan: The Murder of Senator Robert F. Kennedy
In 1968, the United States was shaken by the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy—carried out by Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian Christian born in Jerusalem. Sirhan confessed that his motivation stemmed from Kennedy’s strong support for Israel, revealing a deadly manifestation of anti-Israel and anti-American sentiment.

World Trade Center Bombing Conspirator: Nidal Ayyad
One of the key figures in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Nidal Ayyad, was born to Palestinian parents who had fled after the Six-Day War. Raised with deep animosity toward Israel and its allies, Ayyad became part of the deadly Islamist network that sought to bring terror to American soil long before 9/11.

Terror Recruiters and 9/11 Links
Muhammad Haydar Zammar, the man who recruited several of the 9/11 hijackers, was closely associated with Palestinian preacher Abu Qatada—an infamous Islamist ideologue linked to al-Qaeda. Abu Qatada's rhetoric helped radicalize thousands, including those who would later strike the U.S. on its own soil.

A Stark Contrast: Israel as an Ally, Palestinian Movements as a Threat.

This pattern is not accidental. While Israel has consistently partnered with the U.S. in combating terror, advancing technology, and promoting regional stability, Palestinian-linked extremists have too often found themselves on the other side—aligning with terror groups, embracing anti-Western ideologies, and even targeting American lives.

Despite billions in foreign aid and decades of diplomatic engagement, factions within the Palestinian movement continue to praise or produce individuals who bring harm to U.S. interests. This isn't a narrative rooted in bias—it's a pattern proven by decades of bloody evidence.

Conclusion.

The contrast is clear: Israel remains a steadfast friend of the United States, while Palestinian-linked extremists have repeatedly acted as enemies. As the world navigates increasingly complex global threats, it is vital for Americans to remember who stands with them—and who, time and again, has chosen violence over peace, and terror over diplomacy.
