what about compensation for the Jews that were run out of arab countries? |
They did not leave due to a war in their area and they could return if they wish. In fact every territory that they left still has Jewish populations. Granted, they don't have the same religious freedoms as they would have outside of those nations, but, they are citizens as are those that left.
Whereas the Arabs tried to return home when the hostilities stopped and were not allowed and this extends to those who were living in the occupied territories and fled in '67 as well. They are not even allowed back into those territories unless they have a visa from another country, which is only temporary.
In reality it is no where near the same circumstance. The Jews left for two reasons, many out of fear of retribution from their Arab leaders and many for the free land, homes, and money that was given to them to immigrate to Israel. The Arabs all fled out of fear and when they tried to return home they were told no. They havn't even been able to get their possessions.

what are you talking about? a large number of the jews left because of arab violence
most of the arabs left because other arabs told them to... that they could come back once all the jews were dead.

I specifically said many left due to fear from Arab leaders and implied arab violence.
This is an theory that has never had any evidence of support. In April 9, 1948 two Jewish terrorist organizations, the Irgun and Stern Gang massacred, biblical style, the entire Arab village of Deir Yassin. This was one month before Israel declared itself a state and the 1948 war started. If this combined with previous deadly attacks by these Jewish groups and others like them didn't create a mass fear among Arab populace of what Israelis might do if you stuck around, I don't know what would. As a side note, to my knowledge nothing like this (mass murder) happened in the Arab countries to Jews.
