Before there was an Israeli occupation. Before 1967. Before Gaza. The New York Times was documenting something the modern progressive narrative has almost entirely erased: the coordinated ethnic cleansing of Jews from Arab and Muslim-majority countries.
This is what a 1948 front page looks like. The Arab League, in 1947, drafted a formal internal document recommending coordinated action against Jewish populations across member states: freezing bank accounts, designating Jews as enemy aliens, interning those deemed Zionists. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ฐ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐.
They succeeded. Iraq had 135,000 Jews in 1948. Today, five remain. Egypt saw bombs k!ll over 70 Jews in Cairoโs Jewish quarter in 1948. Yemen saw 82 Jews mโrdered in the 1947-48 pogroms. Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Syria โ each country that had harbored thriving Jewish communities for centuries systematically emptied them out in a single generation.

The estimated value in todayโs dollars: $263 billion. About 70% of those refugees resettled in Israel. They became Israelโs founding population.

Even Arab leaders admit it.
Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. Itโs a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and itโs an important one for people to see.
Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or heโs pro-Israel. Theyโll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.
Ok, so let us set that aside.
Now watch this.
In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.
Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.
He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.
The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.
This perhaps is far more impactful than Clintonโs account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.
When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.
The pattern is clear across decades and across different voicesโฆ generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.
This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.
If you value the truth, please share.

This is way below the "2nd fastest growing economy in the G7" lies Canadians were told by the Finance Minister & Prime Minister, for over a year now.
When the government lies to Canadians for a year and there is no consequence, why should they ever tell us the truth?
๐จ New York Democrats just voted to erase "Mother" and "Fatherโ.
Governor Kathy Hochul will be replacing "mother" with "gestating parent" and "father" with "non-gestating parent."
This isn't inclusion, it's insanity.
While New Yorkers battle sky-high taxes, crime, and failing schools, The state is obsessed with rewriting biology and the English language. Real parents don't need woke bureaucrats redefining them.
Reject this nonsense.

Nolan could have cast the Greek actress Tonia Sotiropoulou as the Goddess Athena. She played for 1 minute in a James Bond movie and she was better than Zendaya's whole career. Or even cast Greeks in secondary roles. Greeks will not watch this abomination that he named "Odyssey"
