Palestinians Before 1948: Debunking Migration Myths

Myth BUSTED: The "Mass Arab Migration" to British Palestine never happened. Demographers, historians, British commissions, Ottoman records, and modern genetic studies demolish this politically motivated fairytale. We've got the receipts.

NB: I do not moderate comments, so if your comment was deleted I would assume it was Youtube that deleted it. If you see a comment that is clearly anti-Semitic or Islamophobic report it and Youtube will deal with it.
