Hezbollah isn't in Israel, so any argument about what happened in Israel is irrelevant. And by far the primary cause of Palestinians leaving was Arab countries telling them to get out of the way of the coming invasion. And, well, when you refuse to agree to lay down arms is it really surprising you're not allowed back in?

King David Hotel? You mean British military HQ? Who received and ignored the warning about the bomb?

USS Liberty--ever consider how hard it is to identify ships from the air in a combat situation? Israel knew the ship claimed to be American, but they thought that was a ruse.

I was gonna research your points until I saw what you said about the USS liberty and figured that your earlier points are just as biased.

Respectfully, it is relevant, as explained. Historical context matters.

Excepting, as in this case, where someone makes up a historical narrative with a handwave.
