Reality licks has a few things incorrect. First of all, His numbers are way off base. the number is disputed, but the officiall UN # is 711,000 Refugees that left Isreal. Not Millions to several countries. The West bank and Gaza and Half of Jerusalem was invaded and occupyied by Jordan, and Egypt with the approval and help of the other Arab states. in 1948. Not by Isreal. They held it for 20 years. The Arabs prevented Palestine from forming in 1948. And continue to today Jordan is the only Arab state that gave citizenship to the Palestinains, the states Reality licks listed, refused and continue to resue to allow Palestinians to immigrate. Also not a single one of them has even 1 million Palestinian refugees, not the millions each reality claims. A perfect example of how people lie about this issue. reality has probably heard that millions of times, and doesn't realise he was lied to. But it is pretty easy to look this stuff up, so the ignorance is fairly inexcusable.. Wikipedia is not the best source, but every point from this wiki quote is Footnoted, so its valid, " In 1957, the Refugee Conference at Homs, Syria, passed a resolution stating that "Any discussion aimed at a solution of the Palestine problem which will not be based on ensuring the refugees' right to annihilate Israel will be regarded as a desecration of the Arab people and an act of treason (Beirut al Massa, July 15, 1957)."[15] The Arab League issued instructions barring the Arab states from granting citizenship to Palestinian Arab refugees (or their descendants) "to avoid dissolution of their identity and protect their right to return to their homeland".[16] Syrian Prime Minister, Khalid al-Azm, wrote in his 1973 memoirs: Since 1948 it is we who demanded the return of the refugees [...] while it is we who made them leave. [...] We brought disaster upon [...] Arab refugees, by inviting them and bringing pressure to bear upon them to leave. [...] We have rendered them dispossessed. [...] We have accustomed them to begging. [...] We have participated in lowering their moral and social level. [...] Then we exploited them in executing crimes of murder, arson, and throwing bombs upon [...] men, women and children-all this in the service of political purposes. Jordan is the only Arab country which uniformly gave citizenship rights to Palestinian refugees present on its soil. " It is rather disengenouis to argue Isreal should go back to the 67 borders, while arguing that it was ok for pre 67 Arabs to be working for thier anihalation, adn constantly attacking them. Arabs don't give a shit about the Palestinian people, its really sad.
