So your position is that everything was hunky-dory in the Mid-East prior to 1947? Is that seriously what you are suggesting?
The Forums started to act up on me. Thanks to Koz here I found a way around it:Quote:

I don't know about hunky-dory, but at least there wasn't over-population. The Jewish immigrants in Israel like people to believe that they bought their land and homes from the Palestinians/Arabs who lived there before them. Yes, they paid some nominal sum, but they don't like to tell that in many cases they intimidated people to sell and created problems to those who didn't want to sell. Their goal was to create all-Jewish neighborhoods by chasing away the Palestinians/Arabs.
So should they have stayed in the predominantly Arabic nations they came from, and still suffer persecution? Do you think that's "right" that they were negated from owning lands and property in the countries that they were previously living in?Quote:

The US, Russia, Canada, France, Germany, Ukraine, Poland, etc. are not predominantly Arabic.Quote:

You don't need an asylum and they don't need you in their workforce, so they don't take you.
Israel should employ their Palestinians before they take in more people from abroad:

The Israeli unemployment rate is 6.1%, while the Palestinian unemployment rate in the West Bank is 16.3% and 41.3% in Gaza.
“[A] recent World Bank study predicts that, if the current situation continues throughout 2006, this may be the worst year in the Palestinian economic history. The average Palestinian’s personal income will fall by 40%, and 67% of the population will fall into poverty.”
- A. David Craig, World Bank
So? Migration to Israel does not predominantly come from these sources:Quote:

During the two-year period from 1955 to 1957, the percentage of Jews from Arab countries arriving in Israel rose to 69%. In 1955 this group represented 92% of all immigrants.
Credible peer reviewed statistics, states that most Jews from the disapora who returned to Israel post 1948 came from Arabic countries.
Again: Should they have stayed in the predominantly Arabic nations they came from, and still suffer persecution? Do you think that's "right" that they were negated from owning lands and property in the countries that they were previously living in?
Do you have a direct answer?
Do you have any direct evidence that they were suffering persecution in Arabic countries prior to 1947?Quote:
