Also those migrations you talked about, those people had the same religion, and more importantly, the same culture in between them. Thew Jewish and Muslim cultures differ greatly.


I think you misunderstood somehow. It had nothing to do with similar cultures. I'm talking about forced migration of people due to many nations being devided after WWII.

Germany lost 1/3 of it's territory, which was taken by Poland, who in turn lost almost all of it's eastern half, which became part of Belarus. Tens of millions of Germans had to leave their land and move into the 2/3 of Germany that remained. Millions of Polish had to migrate because the whole land was relocated 250 miles to the west. 500,000 Finns had to leave their homes in Karelia which was stolen by the Soviet Union. And so on.

The Palestinian Arab situation was no different - half of the Palestinian mandate was to become Israel, so the Arabs there had to move to the other half that was meant to become the new Arab nation of Palestine.

So you see, the Palestinian Arabs are not unique in any way. The only difference is that after 60 years they got a whole world (people like you) using this old argument about their land being stolen, while all these other nations and people have accepted that they lost part of their territories and there is nothing to do about it.
