Video - Abbas: Arabs Left Safed of Their Own Volition in 1948
(Palestinian Media Watch) PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas told PA TV on Jan. 1, 2013: "The [Arab] Liberation Army retreated from the city [of Safed in 1948], causing the [Arab] people to begin emigrating. In Safed, just like Hebron, people were afraid that the Jews would take revenge for the [Arab] massacre [of Jews] in 1929. The 1929 massacre was most severe in Safed and Hebron [65 Jews were killed in Hebron, 18 in Safed]." "The people were overcome with fear, and it caused the people to leave the city in a disorderly way."
