Arab refugees?

They left on their own accord. And because of the Jihadist Arabs aggression; Israelis had no part in motivating those who chose to leave.

In addition to causing the “Arab refugee problem”, the Arab states expelled almost a million Jews from their own lands. The number of Jews kicked out of their own countries vs. the number of Arabs who chose to leave Israel/Palestine are about equal; there is a possibility more Jews were expelled than Arabs willing-fully left, if the numbers are unequal in any way.

Jewish Voice for Peace deserved to lose. JVP was founded by Mitchell Plitnick, a former 60’s Berkeley radical who emerged on the activist scene as the Palestine Solidarity Movement grew after its creation in 2001. As a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, JVP’s platform is to convince American Jews that Israel is the main hindrance to any peace because of its “occupation” of Arab lands. This means all of Israel, not just lands taken in 1967. Consequently, JVP views any effort by Israel to defend itself simply as a perpetuation of this unjust "occupation." In the earliest JVP newsletters, Plitnick even went so far as to write that it is doubtful that Jews ever lived in the Holy Land at all and that they were probably from Khazaria in Russia, thus not indigenous to the region like their Arab cousins. He has written that the exodus and the First Temple were just myths, designed to legitimize a Jewish state in the region, and now used as a publicity ploy by modern Jews to steal a state from the Arabs. Similar canards were used by the PLO to legitimize its terror war against Israel. Source: http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=1416 Good. Jewish Voice for Peace deserved to lose.
