      Benny Morris is a Zionist who justifies and supports the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. If you are genuinely interested in the full story, you should at the least read the works of anti-zionist Historians as well

          Did you not even bother to read the paragraphs I quoted? You have no clue what you’re talking about

          But in an astonishing recent Ha’aretz interview, after summarizing his new research, Morris proceeds to argue for the necessity of ethnic cleansing in 1948. He faults David Ben-Gurion for failing to expel all Arab Israelis, and hints that it may be necessary to finish the job in the future. Though he calls himself a left-wing Zionist, he invokes and praises the fascist Vladimir Jabotinsky in calling for an “iron wall” solution to the current crisis. Referring to Sharon’s Security Wall, he says, “Something like a cage has to be built for them. I know that sounds terrible. It is really cruel. But there is no choice. There is a wild animal there that has to be locked up in one way or another.” He calls the conflict between Israelis and Arabs a struggle between civilization and barbarism, and suggests an analogy frequently drawn by Palestinians, though from the other side of the Winchester: “Even the great American democracy could not have been created without the annihilation of the Indians.”

            honestly don’t see this in all that stuff you copy pasted

            you conflate zionist with the mania of this last war, zionist used to just mean jews that want their own country

            morris acknowledges the bad that was done in the war that led to the naqba, but saw it as the only option where the palestinians would never settle for peace and hadn’t done for 20 years

              No it doesn’t, as discussed at length in the first section you didn’t read twice. You have no clue what you’re talking about. It’s not a copypasta if I’m the one who read all the sources I sourced and provided relevant paragraphs and links all of which I’ve personally read, genius.
