Compare Blumenthal’s description of Nakba (much more in the video)

BLUMENTHAL: Well, there is the–the most remarkable of these laws was the Nakba Law, which–you know, the Nakba is a reference to the Palestinian catastrophe, the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians from what became the state of Israel in 1948. It’s a continuous process. And there are Palestinian citizens of Israel who go out during what is known as Israeli Independence Day, May 15, 1948, which also happens to be the date of that marks their catastrophe, and they’ll observe the tragedy of this moment for them.

to the mythology upon which I was raised.

I was told that when Israel was created, the leaders of the Palestinians unnecessarily frightened the Palestinians into leaving voluntarily. There was no need for this fear, because the Israelis would have been glad to live peacefully with the Palestinians. In fact the leaders just wanted their followers to leave so that they could get the war over quickly and drive the Israelis out of the middle east. After not winning the war, the Palestinians wanted to return. The Israelis rightfully told them that they had forfeited their right of return because of their disloyalty and their voluntary abandonment of their property.

As an adult, I used to have discussions with a Palestinian with whom I worked and with whom I became a friend. I thought I was being reasonable in saying, “You may not agree with the story I grew up with, but can you admit that if a people believed this story, they would have a reason for the anti-Palestinian feelings that they do?” And I thought he was just being unreasonable for not conceding my point. I have learned a lot since those days in the 1980s.
