Why Are There Still Palestinian Refugees?

When Israel was established in 1948, there were only 806,000 residents. The current population is around 8 and a half MILLION: Jews (74.9%); Arabs (20.7%); Non-Arab Christians, Baha’i, etc. (4.4%).

Hundreds of thousands of the Jews who migrated to Israel did so as penniless refugees from hostile Arab Muslim nations. They assimilated and are never considered refugees.

Yet the Arab Muslims who fled Israel (without needing to do so) are now in their 3rd generation and are still considered a pitiful group of refugees in dire need of mega-bucks in aid.

Why haven’t they moved on and made new homes and lives for themselves? In part, because the Muslim nations refuse to allow them to emigrate. These nations have a vested interest in keeping these so-called Palestinians sitting right next to Israel, whining and bombing.

    There IS no formal state of Palestine.Jordan told a bunch of people to go squat on Israeli land and that’s where they’ve been since.
