This quote is extracted from "ZIONIST LOGIC By Malcolm X Shabazz".(1) ALBERT EINSTEIN It would be my greatest sadness to see Zionists do to Palestinian Arabs much of what Nazis did to ...

Did Zionists “take over” 73% of their land from Palestinians? "Take over" is a bit vague, and subject to interpretation. The situation is muddled enough that it is not really valid to say "yes" or "no" to that objectively. As the question currently focuses on 1948, let's look at the immediate history lead up to, and following that period. In 1947, the ...

TL;DR: The words of this out of context quote are correct, the origin for this quote in terms of authorship are correct, the origin in terms of attributed time are not correct. Both, misattribution of time and lack of context, make this essentially correct quote problematic. Source According to David Ben Gurion's 1954 book Rebirth and Destiny of Israel he ...

No, Israelis don't die from peanut allergies at all, and considerably fewer people die from food-related allergies than from terror attacks. it's a very distasteful and cynical argument.

Other answers took care of "in 1948 they took over 73% of it." I would like to address the "The Jews, [...] did in fact steal the land from the Palestinians. They actually bought and paid for at most 9% of it." part which is true. Although Estimaties of the total volume of land that Jews had purchased by 15 May 1948 are complicated by illegal and ...
