@mickvonbornemann3824 In 1947, the UN partitioned Palestine into two states based on population - one Jewish, one Arab. If the Arabs had accepted the partition, there would have been no wars, no refugees and the Palestinians would be celebrating their 75th anniversary as an independent state encompassing the entire West Bank, Gaza and a third of pre-1967 Israel instead of the "nakba". The Arabs rejected the partition and launched a war with the stated goal of destroying Israel and annihilating its entire Jewish population and repeating the same thing in 1967.
After WW2, there were tens of millions of refugees in Europe - Germans, Poles and others. When India was partitioned in 1947, millions fled their homes. - both Muslims and Hindus. There were about 800,000 Jews who were either expelled of forced to leave Arab countries, their homes and land confiscated by Arab governments. Today there no European refugees, no refugees from India, no Jewish refugees. So why, after 75 years are the Palestinians still refugees? Because it is what the Arab governments wanted - to use them as political pawns.
