However, the quote is taken out of context, and later on, Morris states that <dl><dd>The Haganah mortar attacks of 21–22 April were primarily designed to break Arab morale in order to bring about a swift collapse of resistance and speedy surrender. There is no evidence that the commanders involved hoped or expected that it would lead to mass evacuation (though events in Tiberias four days before must have been prominent in their minds).</dd></dl> At the same time, the article ignores the Morris' description of the events of April 22, during which the Arab leaders decided to leave, despite being entreated by the Jews and British to stay. By the nightfall of April 22, there were still 30,000-40,000 Arabs remaining in the town.

And one of the reasons is that considerable emphasis is given to citing positions by prominent scholars in the midst of the factual narrative. All opinions of this kind should always be relegated below a strict narrative focus on the chronological reconstruction that established the facts as they are known to unfold day by day/week by week.</li> <li>The <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Palestinian_expulsion_and_flight#April%E2%80%93June_1948">section on Haifa here</a> is woefully inadequate. It should, by rights, synthesize <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Haifa_(1948)" title="Battle of Haifa (1948)">Battle of Haifa (1948)</a>, but we cannot do that at present because that is one more example of an inadequate reconstruction of the factual record, and overreliance on just one historian: 16 of the 43 references go back to Morris, the next most used sources are primary documents of the period, and then we have passing references to bits and pieces from Pappé, Segev, Azoulay etc., as minor voices. Kimche gets more mention than any of those.

Benny Morris is the most referenced historian in this article. Some have complained that he is 'oversourced'. This might be true, but the main issue is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CHERRYPICKING" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CHERRYPICKING">WP:CHERRYPICKING</a>. Currently, large sections of his research are omitted, seemingly due to them not fitting a particular view, while the rest forms the bulk of the article. Finer points are sometimes overblown. This is a clear violation of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DUE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DUE">WP:DUE</a>:<blockquote>Neutrality requires that mainspace articles and pages fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in those sources.</blockquote>Another common argument against the paragraph's inclusion I've seen is that it "engages in Nakba denial". That is simply not a historical argument, especially given that most articles about the Nakba rely on Morris already. (see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:What_FRINGE_is_not" title="Wikipedia:What FRINGE is not">Wikipedia:What FRINGE is not</a>). Of course, any historian who disagrees with Morris' assessment should be included too. <a href="/wiki/User:Amayorov" title="User:Amayorov">Amayorov</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Amayorov" title="User talk:Amayorov">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1948_Palestinian_expulsion_and_flight#c-Amayorov-20240913203100-Yes" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:31, 13 September 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li> <li>Probably. I'm not totally clear on the context leading to this RfC, but NPOV generally means representing all non-fringe views on a matter, so purported evacuation orders should certainly be mentioned when covering Haifa.

However, this accounts only for half of the refugee population. The dispute between the two is about the 350,000 or so who exited Palestine in between March and June 1948. While Morris thinks this half has left by its own accord, Khalidi argues it was expelled as well (a particular acute argument has being going on about the refugees of Haifa - around 65,000 in number). Zionist historiography cited Haifa as an example for a Jewish effort to persuade Arabs to stay - Morris, in this case, accepts the official version. Khalidi does not - he describes, as does more elaborately Nur Masalha, the means by which the Haifa population was driven out.

At the very least, some attributed description seems merited. I generally err on the side of inclusion when it comes to this as long as we aren't dealing with FRINGE. "We already rely too much on this prominent historian," sounds like cherrypicking to me. And Levivich's "don't source a scholar unless they've been cited by another scholar" rule would result in a lot of removals across many articles if that were actually followed. <a href="/wiki/User:Andrevan" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Andrevan">Andre</a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Andrevan" class="mw-redirect" title="User talk:Andrevan">🚐</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1948_Palestinian_expulsion_and_flight#c-Andrevan-20240915103200-Yes" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:32, 15 September 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li> <li>Probably per Amayorov and Andrevan.

After the 1st sentence, give the numbers before, in late April, and at the end. If these are facts with minimal disagreement, no scholar needs to be named those sentences (only in citations). Then framing such as: "The flight of the Arab population was influenced by Jewish, and possibly Arab actions, though historian debate the relevance of specific actions and their intent." Then Morris (RfC sentence) vs Khalidi on the Arab Higher Committee. Then a sentence to introduce the types of Jewish actions, e.g., broadcasts and military tactics, followed by the competing scholarly interpretations. Fwiw, I think the Morris blockquote can be replaced with a concise paraphrase, to avoid overuse (though he is a leading historian here).

Morris is (one of) the preeminent historian(s) on the topic, and significant use in other areas of the article aren’t a policy-based reason to remove otherwise due content.

Illustration can also be found... Initial Jewish attitudes towards the Arab evacuation changed within days; and what Jewish liaison officers told their British contacts did not always conform with the realities on the ground or with those quickly changing attitudes. The local Jewish civilian leadership initially sincerely wanted the Arabs to stay (and made a point of letting the British see this). But the offensive of 21–22 April had delivered the Arab neighbourhoods into Haganah hands, relegating the civil leaders to the sidelines and for almost a fortnight rendering them relatively ineffectual...a temporary rupture between the local Jewish civil and military authorities, which reflected, and was part of, the similar, larger rupture between these authorities that characterised much of the Yishuv’s policy-making and actions through the war.
