Not arguing that there was plenty of nastiness, but it seems to me
like there's more than enough to go around, rather than attach it all
at the feet of one side. In fact, looking at the numbers kind of puts
a different slant on who's more interested chasing whom from their
land?

Number of Arabs in Israel, before 1947: 800,000
Number of Arabs in Israel, after 1947: 160,000

Number of Jews in West Bank before 1947 100,000
Number of Jews in West Bank after 1947: 0
