REFUGEE SCAM
When
they had no country of their own, and at the
mercy of their host countries - the Jews were, by far, the most
dispossessed people on earth. It is no wonder they are known as “the wandering
Jews”.
The
Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to
the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there
is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it. Turkey
threw out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchman. 13 million people
were uprooted from India in the 1947 partition – to name a few examples.
When,
as a tiny country Israel gained independence in 1948, it had to absorb 850,000
Jews who were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution
and progroms. These refugees had to
leave all their property and belongings behind. Entire Jewish communities were
wiped out; almost an ethnic cleansing. Centuries of religious customs,
traditions, and culture vanished from the Middle East and North Africa. According
to the International Court of the Hague, Jewish property - both private and
communal, confiscated by Arab governments - was much vaster than that left
behind by the Palestinians in Israel.
Jewish
refugees became completely absorbed into Israel which, under minimum
conditions, gave them shelter and a place of security in which their children
could grow up to become productive citizens. These Jewish refugees and their
descendants got no aid of any kind from the UN.
The Arab exodus from Israel in 1948 was the direct result of a
genocidal war declared against the newly established Jewish state by all of its
Arab neighbours, including the Arabs of Israel.
In Israel’s fierce war for its
survival, approximately 650,000 local Arabs were displaced – some of them
relative newcomers to Israel. Many left voluntarily, having been promised a
glorious return after the “inevitable” Arab victory. Sixty-eight percent left
without ever seeing an Israeli soldier! How convenient for them to have the UN
designate any Arab who lost a home in the war as a refugee - if he had lived
more than two years under the Mandate.
If the Arabs had accepted the UN peace plan, which was accepted by the Jews – two states for two people – there would be no Palestinian refugees.
After the creation of the Jewish state in 1948, the Arab world,
with their 22 states and oil money,
refused to absorb or resettle Palestinians. This callousness, in
retrospect, turned out to be a masterstroke. By sentencing refugees to
generations of life in appalling conditions in camps, it created a permanent
thorn in the Middle East body politic. UNRWA was supposed to help these
refugees but not one refugee has been permanently resettled and taken off from welfare
in 70 years. Instead millions have been added.
Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the
only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into
their own peoples’ lands!
Almost none of the nearly five million Arabs who now seek to claim
the facade of “Palestinian refugee” was ever actually in Israel. They are the
descendants, some quite distant, of those who were actually displaced in 1948.
The time is long overdue for the world to stop treating these Palestinians as
refugees.
The Arabs have always wanted one thing and have never disguised it
in their own publications and speeches to one another. They don’t want a Jewish
state in the Middle East. They want Jerusalem as their capital, a return to the
borders of pre-1967 Israel, and they want a right of return for all Palestinian
refugees to Israel.
