I believe the refusal in 1948 by the Arab Nations to accept the UN proposition of the partition for Palestine, and the Arab nations attack on the new country of Israel was neglected to be mentioned by Lauren during her interview, in her reference to the Nakba. I believe this is a very significant ommission. This may lead an uneducated listener to believe that Israel, (who was attacked by a concerted and planned effort by the Arab nations) was the aggressor, which was not the case. There were many opportunities after that for a Palestinian state, but none were taken.
