There are a few things we never hear in the debate on Israel which bug me.
The first is that the UNHCR was set up to help the Arab refugees after the War and as part of its remit a UN fact finder went out to decide upon reparations deciding that Arab and Jewish loses were ‘broadly comparable’, that is to say the 600,000+ Arab refugees lost about as much as the 800,000 Jewish refugees. We never hear about this any more in the right to return because it does not matter to the Arabs, the right of return to them is a mechanism for destroying Israel by other means not a statement of justice. Unless that is what they mean by justice.
Secondly they tell the Jewish people to go back where they came from. There is never a second’s recognition that the Jewish people were coming home. How could there be, if they recognised that they would have to accept the Arabs invaded Judah in 632 and declared it Islamic for ever and effectively barred Jews from any immigration on a significant scale for fourteen hundred years. Sitting behind a Muslim army that left the Jewish people at the mercy of rabid Christian hatred culminating in the Shoah.
And then the Arabs pretend the Holocaust had nothing to do with them. But then the first weapon mankind ever made was hypocrisy.
