#1 So, no longer anything remotely resembling a refugee camp full of hopeless, helpless Palestinian refugees, but just inexpensive housing for those who couldn't afford to move out.

TW, where do you think the original "Palestinian Refugees" came from?

#2 As I recall, g(r)omgoru, any Arab living in Mandatory Palestine at least four years prior to the day Israel was recognized by the UN in 1948 was considered a Palestinian refugee, ignoring completely his/her actual place of birth or citizenship.

My father arrived in Palestine in 1934, served in a number of capacities in Haganah, and has a pin for Haganah Haifa -- I believe for the defence of the city during the excitements of '48. Along the way he accidentally blew up Chaim Weizman's lab one evening, when his explosives got overexcited.

I know where the "Palestinian" "refugees" came from. But it is a useful link.
