My version suggests that the only source to the claim that there were
472,000 Palestinian refugees in total created in the Palestine war is
Mitchell Bard. In fact the only source has to be him since Count Folke
Bernadotte cannot by applying pure logic have done such a claim. So,
while the figure 472,000 might very well have appeared in Bernadotte's
report, it *must* have been used in an entierly different context than
in which Bard uses it in. It can *not* be written that Bernadotte
estimated that the total number of refugees was 472,000 because that
is completely false. That is what is done in Jayjg's version.
