While these maps are useful I do have them thanks.
The point is I can find which village was captured, destroyed and or the people expelled.
I am unable to find the date when this happened for instance Tiberius 23 April (during the Mandate, Kfer Byram in the 1950's
it is important to know what was done during the Mandate and what the UK and UIn did about it.

In the Original greek arabic bible The Old Testsment the name Israel doesn't exits were in the old testsment does it say Israel its doesn't say. Too many people look at the Hebrew bible and the rewriting of the old testsment by King James his idea of the bible isn't all real most of it is thoughts just like the Hebrew bible. Jews will alway be far from the promise land because of all the blood shed they have done from generations to generation thou; still today just to cover themselves they blame palestinians for there actions and everytime an arab fights back to protect there family and home
