This real-time 1948 article from The Economist completely destroys the modern “Nakba” narrative that was invented decades later as political propaganda.
Straight from British eyewitnesses in Haifa, October 2, 1948:
“Jewish authorities urged all Arabs to remain in Haifa and guaranteed them protection and security ... However, of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa, not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained.
The most potent factor was the announcements made over the air by the Arab Higher Executive, urging the Arabs to quit ... those who remained and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades.”
They didn’t flee because of “Zionist ethnic cleansing.”
They fled because Arab leaders ordered them to get out of the way so their armies could “drive the Jews into the sea.”
Then they lost the war they started — and spent the next 77 years rewriting history to blame the Jews.
The “Nakba” you were taught? Pure revisionist fiction.
The word “Nakba” (catastrophe) wasn’t invented by Palestinians to describe Jewish “ethnic cleansing.”
It was coined in 1948 by a Syrian Arab historian, Constantin Zureiq, in his book The Meaning of the Disaster.
He used it to describe the humiliating failure of the Arab world — their leaders’ arrogance, their lies to their own people, their military incompetence, and their refusal to accept a Jewish state.
Zureiq wrote that the Arabs had “imaginary victories” and put their public “to sleep” with boasts — until the real disaster hit: they couldn’t wipe out the Jews.
The original Nakba wasn’t about refugees. That a rebrand from several decades later.
It was about the Arab leaders’ catastrophic decision to launch a war of extermination ... and lose.
They’ve spent 77 years rebranding their own failure as Jewish guilt.
That’s the only real "Nakba" they can’t forgive.

Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,
My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.
On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.
For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.
So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.
This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.
You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.
Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.
This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.

Biden and Kamala ask Israel to give Palestinian Authority 🇵🇸 a state. Here's what their head, Mahmoud Abbas, said this week in Turkish Parliament:
“America is the plague, and the plague Is America… We are implementing Sharia law. Victory for martyrdom.”

A picture taken today in Gaza shows how Hamas terrorists walk the streets surrounded by children to be human shields for them and prevent the IDF from attacking them! Share it so that the whole world will see the truth about these disgusting terrorists who commit war crimes against their own people as well!

How did the 240+ innocents — held underground in Gaza by Hamas— became the footnote?
That’s the only thing we’re fighting for.
Don’t let the world look away, until they are all free.

This tweet is only for people who want to know the truth about Gaza.
1. This morning the IDF announced there will be an humanitarian corridor leading to the safe zone in the south of the strip.
2. The IDF built the corridor and secured it for the civilians.
3. Hamas attacked it to prevent the safety of his own citizens. Period.
(Probably soon Hamas will release a statement saying that Israel did it, stay tuned)
