>Anything non-factual in that?

Nearly all of it (either non factual or so tilted as to be non factual)?

> owned just 6% of the land of Palestine

Absurd criteria - what does wealth have to do with it? Splitting America by 'ownership' would give 100% to rich WASP. By the way, Most local land was owned by families not living in the country or was unowned desert.

>55% of the land for a Jewish state

The big difference being the Negev desert, because it was thought the new state would need somewhere to settle WW2 refugees. The Jewish state got much less of the useful fertile areas.

>The zionists were the direct cause of the exodus of the worlds' oldest Jewish communities in the other Arab lands both by their treatment of the Palestinians

Displacement was caused by the local states and its beginning predated the UN partition (1941 farhud, 1945 Tripolitania massacre, etc.).

> zionist offensives quickly expanded to 80% of the land while ethnically cleansing the population

You mean 'directly caused by the constant attacks by 7 states and the local Arab population', right? Just applying the same standards you apply, but without inverting chronology this time.

>by sowing panic in Jews in Iraq and elsewhere by planting bombs in synagogues

Based on 'confessions' accomplished by torture. The actual actions of the Iraqi government are oddly ignored.

Modern Iraqi history is littered with letting inconvenient populations be displaced (from Assyrians, to Iraqi Persians to Marsh Arabs to Kurds to Yazidis and yes, Jews) and always blaming it on someone else.
