"in 1948 some 4,000,000 Palestians were uprooted from their homes"


Bobert, I keep telling you that the wholesale exagerations that you insist on performing to any statistic you see do more to hurt your viewpoint than help.

The best figures on PERMANENT refugess that I have seen are

648,000 Palestinian Moslims displaced from Israel
820,000 Arab Jews displaced from the Arab nations

In both sets, the individuals chose to leave for fear of their lives. Israel settles about 560,000 of the Arab Jews. Nobody settled the Palestinian Moslims.
