Israel's immigration experience - 14 May 08

President Bush's visit to Israel will be watched by Palestinians as they commemorate the Naqba - or catastrophe - on Wednesday. It refers to the end of the British mandate on this day in 1948, which led to the creation of Israel. Since then, Palestinians have become the world's largest refugee group - the right to return to their ancestral land remains a key sticking point to any peace deal. But despite that the Arab population in the country and the occupied territories is growing. David Chater looks at Israel's shifting demographics.

after they robbed and betrayed their "compatriots", these (uneducated but greedy) jews from argentine,uzbekistan,russia,ir­an,... fly to "israel" where they are assigned their places in the zionist caste system (the ashkenazis on the top) and alltogether they participate in the nazi occupation of palestinian land.
