Reply #30: Did a similar number of people from Miami go to Cuba? [View All]

[question everything]

In 1948, during Israel's war of Independence, about 600,000 Arabs left their homes in what later became part of the State of Israel.

At the same time, a similar number of Jews left Arab countries and came to Israel. While the Jews were absorbed into Israeli society and became productive citizens, the Arabs were kept in wretched refugee camps; they still are, growing up with no hope, no job prospect, only hatred for Israel and, of course, a great diversion for the other Arab nations who did not have to deal with unrest in their own countries.
