The Arabs made the Palestinians flee in 1948, spreading rumors the Jews “would do horrible things to [their] wives”

Official PA TV program Stories from Palestine, on the Al-Arroub refugee camp in Hebron, interview with Ahmed Al-Anati, a refugee from Ajjour – an Arab village abandoned in the War of Independence, currently Agur

Ahmed Al-Anati: “There was a conspiracy between the Arabs and the Jews. [The Arabs] would come [and say], for example: “Leave! [The Jews] committed atrocities in Deir Yassin. Leave so they won’t do horrible things to your wives.” We left [Israel from Ajjour] to Hebron, not out of fear for our bodies but for our honor.”
