 The dispute over whether to call it a ""siege"" or a ""battle"" is amusing, but seems a red herring. The main flaw in the article is that it downplays, nearly omits, the significant fact: That the Arab Legion won, and forced the entire Jewish civilian population out of the eastern part of Jerusalem. This fact needs to be emphasized. Ethnic cleansing is a matter of interest. Other facts should be included: What the Jordanian government did to Jewish institutional buildings, such as synagogues; what proportion of the Legion's officers were British, formally ""seconded"" to the Legion, etc.   18:03, 21 March 2010"
