You are a complete idiot, quoting the numbers I spoke of casually and proving their existence with documented research just shows the desperation of Israel and rightwing supporters like you how much you and Israel lie!Count them:You should have counted them up before you wasted bandwidth by cutting and pasting the same nonsense multiple times.Count them up...Bible Thumping will not change the facts...The Brits or anyone else had no right to disenfranchise millions of people because the Europeans were all culpable for the Holocaust not the welcoming Palestinians...
You're on the wrong side of History Aris...
Who were the "millions" of people you claim were disenfranchised? This appears to be another of your hysterical, Jooooo hating rants that is long on chest-heaving and pointlessness but absent facts.

- Jump up ^This estimate by the UN Conciliation Commission has been repeated in a number of other UN documents.[2][3] The number was calculated by estimating the number of non-Jews living within the borders of Israel at the end of 1947 and subtracting the number of remaining non-Jews living within the borders of Israel after the war. It does not include an estimated 25,000 border-line refugees – refugees who lost their livelihood because their village land was located in Israeli-occupied territory, while the village house remained in Arab territory. The figure was later revised down by the UN Concilation Commission to 711,000.[4]
- Jump up ^ The Committee believed the estimate to be "as accurate as circumstances permit", and attributed the higher number on relief to, among other things, "duplication of ration cards, addition of persons who have been displaced from area other than Israel-held areas and of persons who, although not displaced, are destitute."

MADRID, 22 June 2010 (IRIN) - For the past 62 years, millions of Palestinians have been living as refugees in areas of the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) and in surrounding host countries - mostly in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has described their plight as “by far the most protracted and largest of all refugee problems in the world today”. IRIN takes a fresh look at their number and whereabouts.
COUNTRY BY COUNTRY: Where do the Palestinians live?
The overwhelming majority of Palestinians live in the Middle East. UNRWA operates in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the occupied Palestinian territory. There are also sizeable numbers of refugees living in Iraq, Egypt and outside the Middle East. See Google map of where UNRWA works.
Jordan
- Around 1.9 million Palestinian refugees are registered with UNRWA
- Unlike any other host country, Jordan granted Palestinian refugees full citizenship rights, except for 120,000 people who originally came from the Gaza Strip
- There are 10 official and three unofficial refugee camps in Jordan

(Source: UNRWA)I would worry about Ann Coulter's Joos hatred If I were an American Jew, she just opened Israel's Pandora's Box of AIPAC control in America.It's also worth noting that the Egyptian, Lebanese and Syrian squatters occupying the land area near Palestine were uprooted and displaced as part of the Arab armies failed efforts in their first attempt at the Jewish genocide.4-6 million syrians vs 500-750,000 palestinians.
It's tragically comic that Arabs-Moslems are being slaughtered wholesale by Arabs-Moslems yet there is not a peep, not a whimper from the Arab-Moslem Middle East.
What we do hear is the screeching from the rabid Joooooo haters who still have their contrived concern for a failed Pal'istanian welfare scam to use as a support system for their Joooooo hatreds.
The world is onto you!
Cutting and pasting is effortless and mindless which is why you're among the most prolific, non-thinking cut and pasters.
It's comical that you're now revising your argument to include more recent Pal'istanian welfare cheats as your earlier claim was shown to be a fraud.
You islamo's are a careless bunch.
