The bar graph you bandied about earlier stating there was 5,000,000 Arabs in Israel in 2005 is NOT correct.
Get your facts straight before you venture an opinion please.
Ok. What will that % be if all the Palestinian refugees are let in? Do you think that Israel should be taking proactive measure to ensure Jews maintain majority status there, or do you think Paelstinians should be absorbed in, even if this means they become a numerical majority sometime in the next 50 years? Genuine question. Would love to hear your answer.
Also, this whole refugee situation confuses me.
In the 20th century millions of Jewish refugees are forced to flee/are forced out where've they came from, mostly from Europe, Russia and the Muslim world. They are relocated to Israel. No one is encouraging them to go back, and no-one is giving them back whatever they had there.
This century millions of Arab and African refugees flee/are forced out wherever they came from. They are relocated to Europe. No one is encouraging them to go back, and no-one is giving them back whatever they had there.
In the last 70 years or so millions of Palestinians flee/are forced out Israel. They are forced into concentration camps right outside Israel. No one is allowing them to emigrate somewhere else to start a new life. They are forced to remain in the camps in inhumane conditions.
What am I missing here? Why are Syrian refugees being relocated to Turkey and Europe and being assisted in starting new lives.
Why are Palestinian refugees being forced to live in refugee camps?
Lets acknowledge Israel is not acting correctly. Why is Europe and Turkey so accommodating to refugees from every other country in the Arab world but the Palestinians?
This isn't a trick question. I genuinely don't know the answer.
