The Exodus of the Palestinian Refugees
An argument is a proposition or claim, supported by evidence along with reasoning that the evidence is logical for supporting the claim. Benny Morris makes a compelling argument about the causes of the exodus from Palestine in 1947-49 whereby 750,000 Palestinians became refugees, unable to return to their homes and property.What are the main propositions of Morris’ argument and what is his assessment of the relationship between “transfer thinking” among Zionist leaders, and the actual exodus of Palestinian refugees in 1947-49? What, according to Morris’s critics, are the weaknesses of his argument? Frame your paper in the form of an argument about Morris and his critics.
