Catastrophic thinking: Did Ben-Gurion try to rewrite history?

[Ken Burch]

5. On the question of what should be done to acknowledge displaced Jewish people

I agreed with that in the last part of my post.

The worst thing was when Ben-Gurion and others of his generation of Israeli politicians argued that the mass movement of Jewish residents in the Arab world and Iran after 1948 somehow balanced off what was done to the Palestinians. It didn't.

Neither mass exodus should have been made to occur. And it's not as though the Palestinians themselves were responsible for what happened to the Mizrahi/Sephardi population of the Arab-Muslim world.

What you had in this situation was TWO groups of people who were made to suffer for no real reason.
