No problem, as long as we recall that following foundation of Israel, the Jews of Egypt and Libya were expelled while those of Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and North Africa left due to physical and political prosecutions. Most forced to abandon property. About 850k fled and 600k found shelter in Israel.
While Israel has resolved on its own account the plight of the 600k Jewish refugees from Arab and Muslim countries, Palestinian refugees have been left to the tender mercies of their host countries and continue to be reliant upon UN and other international aid. Apart from Jordan, neither Lebanon nor Syria, have offered Palestinian refugees the right to become citizens. Thus, in searching for a just settlement of the refugee problem, the responsibility of the Arab states who invaded Palestine in 1948 must be taken into account either. |
