		<description>I quote you ‘Of course like in any war between two peoples who become independent atrocities happen on both sides? Look at India’

No dear, it seems you have to go back to history books and read a little bit, but I warn you not to read from one source, do your own research to know that what happened in Palestine, it’s not like any war between two people....bla ...bla 
Someone in England thousands of miles away from Palestine, who does not own Palestine, gave a promise to the Jews of Europe to give them my country (Palestine) to be their own. This was a promise or declaration of Balfour. This man gave something which is not his, to some people to solve their problem in Europe.
He never thought of the owners of the land, The Palestinians were not considered at all... it is a long story, but this was the start, the problem is almost 60 years old or a little bit more. Jewish people came from all over the world, and started creating a state with force. They did not even want to share the land with the original owners, they wanted them dead or out. After that they started invading the area around and occupied lands in neighbouring countries besides the West Bank.</description>

		<description>Hello Iqbal,

Ofcourse its not just dragging people out of their homes that i consider expulsion. But it&#039;s not like
people were massacred in large numbers although you might feel differently. Ofcourse like in any
war between two peoples who become independant atrocities happen on both sides. Look at India
were their was another independence war between muslims and hindoes. It&#039;s unfortunate that the 
palestinians never got their own state as happened in India. Being neither jewish nor muslim
i look at the palestine problem from a distance not emotional as you undoutably do. I don&#039;t think the 
palestinians in 67 fled because of the threat of a nuclear bomb. During this war their were journalist from everywhere in the area since their was a long buildup to this war, and their is no report af attrocities then.
Ofcourse there were regular armies fighting each other so this was different from 1948.
Like i said before part of the arabs in haifa and elsewhere stayed and nothing happened to them.
Things are not as black and white as people from both sides sometimes suggest.
I feel that their should be no settlers outside of the borders of 67, but personally i feel that 
the facts that have been created on the ground will be quite irreversable and that the wall that is being
build will be the new border. Since the demografics in Jeruzalem have already changed and 
are changing in the rest of the area behind the wall there is no incentive for the jews there 
to give up anything but whats outside of the wall. I would like to here how you see the situation evolving
especially if you feel thats what is being created on the ground is realistically reversable.
As the palestinian census showed the arab population in Jeruzalem proper is not rising anymore
and with more and more religious jews in and around Jeruzalem i feel that this is a run race.
How do you see this ?

regards Richard.</description>

When some one bomb your next door neighbours home and massacre all the people in the nearest village, do you consider this as not expelled?
I just want to understand how you see things? Do you consider expullsion happens only when you drag someone by force ( physically) and throw him outside the borders of his country?
I would say this is the strangest way of thinking I have ever heard about.
The fear you are trying to conceal is the number one any opressor will use to hide his crime, especially that this method is effective and cost nothing. They use to terrorize one city to force 10 other cities to surrender to their devious plans. If you read my articles, you will find that they even lied to terrorize Palestinians, they told them we have an atomic bomb, and what happens to the people of Hiroshima will happen to you.
Do you consider this act as an expulsion method or not?</description>

		<description>The Naqba has been disasterous for the palestinians and i hope they get their state with Jeruzalem as their capital. But the palestinians where for the most part not expelled but left out of fear, understandably but
as the presence of arabs in many villages in Israel shows ( even a majority in the Galilea ) Fear drove them away not guns. Exept for Lod Ramle and undoubtably some other places in then palestine.
In 1967 no-one was forced out .</description>

		<description>Good news Mrs Iqbal,

I think that the Palestinian population’s increment is one of Allah’s soldiers against our land’s occupiers, and I hope that other soldiers will join them too.</description>
