Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, 1952. But Jews were dispossessed, too.
Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, 1952. But Jews were dispossessed, too.
"Could the Arab Spring turn into a Palestinian summer?" asks the BBC. A dozen Palestinians were killed yesterday on Israeli's border on the anniversary of the Nakba, the Palestinian catastrophe of 1948 when 725,000 Palestinians were forced out of their homeland.
Almost everyone in Europe knows about the Nakba, which followed the 1948 Arab-Israeli war; although most refugees fled on the advice of invading Arab armies, they have never been allowed back, and this is a running sore. Yet very few people know that 800,000 Jews were in turn forced out of Arab lands during this and subsequent years, on top of another 200,000 Jews from other Muslim countries such as Iran.
The above doesn't include centuries of abuse the Jewish people endured at the Hands of those Savages![evil :evil: :evil:](/styles/smilies/evil.gif)
