    I said look at the map, not the number, for a reason. These people (generally) aren’t getting murdered. They’re getting displaced.

      What exactly is the map going to tell you?

      There’s almost two million Palestinian citizens of Israel. In 1952, Israel gave citizenship to the ~160k Palestinians living in Israeli territory who hadn’t fled during the 1948 war; they lived under martial law until 1966.

      No one is displacing Palestinians in Israel; Israeli settlers are displacing Palestinians in Palestine.

        What exactly is the map going to tell you?

        The displacement of Palestinians in and after the Nakba. The 160k Palestinians living in Israel in 1949 weren’t the ones who hadn’t fled, they were the ones who were allowed to stay. Most others ere either physically expelled from their homes or left fleeing IDF massacres. Look up Benny Morris’s 4-stage analysis.
