Response to George: You spoke of educating the public about things not portrayed in the corporate media. But I found some of the things you said to be a mis-education.

You claimed (at the RCNV talk with Brian Avery) that 750,000 Palestinians were uprooted in 1948 and displaced from their ancestral homeland (I am para-phrasing here). You claimed that most of the Palestinians (actually they were Arabs) were driven out by the Israelis at gunpoint.

How can this be? There were only 650,000 Jews in Israel in 1948. They were not heavily armed. They had to invent little one-bullet guns made out of pipes on the spot. The Arab countries of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Libya all sent troops to "drive the Jews into the sea" one day after they had declared independence. The Jews, who had no IDF at the time, were out-numbered 10 to one. How did they take the time to drive 750,000 Arab Palestinians out of the one-day old country of Israel.

Your assertions strain the bonds of reason. Obviously they fled or were forced out by other Arabs. In fact, the most egregious treatment of the Palestinian-Arab refugees in 1948 was by the Egyptians. Invest in a history book.

p.s. While you are at it, buy a map. There is currently no country called "Palestine."
