"How long has this been going on"? a UN diplomat asked.
The Arab League official at the United Nations responds "Well Sir, for most of these Arabs, since 1948, for a lesser amount, 1967. Both dates are when we lost two wars against that little Israeli state. In the Lebanon many Arabs which were in Jordan had to relocate after Arafat and his crew attempted to overthrow the King. The King beat back Arafat's gunmen at a loss of some 20.000 Arabs, and then Arafat's PLO departed for the Lebanon. In turn his forces instigated the Civil War in 1974 and were kicked out in 1982....Oh, by the way Sir please keep this information to you're self, since we always blame Israel for the refugee problems."
Mr Shmuel Katz of Israel writes the following:
"In December 1948, the director of the Relief Organization, Sir Rafael Cilento, reported he was feeding 750,000 "refugees." By July 1949 the UN reported a round million.
The Red Cross International Committee joined the party. It pressed for the recognition of any destitute Arab in Palestine as a refugee. Thus about 100,000 were added to the list.
To add a touch of mordant humour, the Red Cross authority wrote about the additional people that: "It would be senseless to force them to abandon their homes to be able to get food as refugees."
So these people stayed at home, received their free services there, and were added to the rolls of the refugees."
Which other group of people have been 'refugees' since 1948?
