Did the Zionists plan to dispossess the Arabs of Palestine?

Beginning in 1920, anti-Zionist propaganda insisted that Zionists were going to dispossess and expel the Arabs of Palestine.

About 735,000 lived in the areas that would become Israel after the War of Independence.

The Arab claim of dispossession, repeated so often in Mandatory Palestine, was an invention.
