| Slimebeast said: lol 1 million arabs fled because Israelis slaughtered one village? Crazy talk. Arab leaders encouraged Arabs to flee for strategical reasons. Bla bla... lots of reasons but the main reasons was simply that Israel won the war and fought off the invaders. Since you like any Arab or pro-Palestinian obviously firmly believe the refugee problem was Israel's fault, well let's pretend for a moment that it was true (but it isn't). It still doesn't matter. Refugees and their children would be a huge demographical threat and won't be allowed to return no matter who's fault it originally was. Arabs could or could not be the majority in Israel one day. They're still only 1.5 mill versus 5.7 million Jews in Israel. And gon't forget the 500-750K ultra-orthodox Jews in Israel though, they make even more children per family than the Israeli Arab population and their growth rate is higher. And eventually the orthodos Jews might outnumber the Arabs in Israel. "Only 5% of Israel's population in 1990,[321] the ultra-Orthodox, or Haredim, are expected to represent more than one-fifth of Israel's Jewish population in 2028" |
1. Arabs fled because of fear of death. For years they watched these two groups become more deadly to both British forces as well as general arab populace. The village of a Deir Yassin lost hundreds to this massacre.

2. How can Arabs be the invaders to their own land? Jewish Europeans are the clear invaders.
3. I agree that regardless of the history, Israel can't and won't allow them back to their homes (even though international laws require it).
4. I still think WB will be brought into Israel as even the orthodox Jews want that and then the combined Arab populace will quickly outweigh the Jewish one.
