ordered all Arabs to leave Palestine, or be labeled traitors. In responding,
Ibrahim Sarsur, Head of the Islamic Movement in Israel, cursed the
leaders who ordered Arabs to leave, thus, acknowledging Israel’s
assertion. [April 30, 1999].

Caller: Mr. Ibrahim, I address you as a Muslim My father and grandfather
told me, that during the “Catastrophe” [establishment
of Israel- 1948] our district officer issued an order that whoever
stays in Palestine and in Majdel [near Ashkelon- Southern Israel]
is a traitor, he is a traitor.
Mr. Ibrahim: I don’t want to blame the one who caused this
situation but we are forced to cope with this situation. The one
who gave the order forbidding them to stay there bears guilt for
this, in this life and the Afterlife throughout history until
Resurrection Day.
