Here's another thing I've been having trouble with, in this issue: the refugee "problem." How many original Palestinian refugees were there, compared to the Jewish refugees from Arab countries? People who were actively deported, sans belongings? Any talk of solving the refugee "problem" should also talk of compensating them. And yet, no-one even bothers talking about it. As if it's a non-issue. If I am not mistaken, the number of original Jewish refugees from Arab countries outnumbers the original Palestinian refugees from Israel.

Another thing: The Palestinian leadership at the time of the War of Independence actively told many Arab villagers to escape from their villages, so as to not disturb the oncoming Arab armies. I don't see how this kind of behaviour warrants compensation.

Fear of novo richi? That actually makes sense.
