As I researched further, I realized one of the sites I obtained the quote about Jewish and Arab villages had mislabeled the author. It was Moshe Dayan who said these words, not David Ben Gurion. Sorry for this! I have corrected it.
"Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population."-- Moshe Dayan quoted in Haaretz, 1969.
A beautiful movie about the conflict through the eyes of children
