I received an article that I  published on this web site.  It deals with the Arab 'refugee' problem from 1948 and whether or not they 'left' Israel or were exiled by the Israelis.  This article led me to conduct a search of newspaper articles covering the May 1948 independence of Israel and the events surrounding it.

What I found was extremely interesting.  One small town newspaper had articles about "Palestine" just about every day during April and May 1948.

Due to the extremely large size of each newspaper page, I have cut the headlines out of the articles.  Just click on the headline to view the entire article.
