Sir, you describe yourself and the Palestinian leadershit. The so called “Plan Dalet” was an assessment of Arab military capability on a village by village basis, not a plan of expulsion, let alone settlement. It is the Arabs who hoped to drive the Jews into the sea and it is they they thought that their former dhimmi underlings were easy prey. A such they were victims of their own boasting and incompetence.
