The Arab countries force their Jewish citizens (about 900K people) to flee for their lives at 48. They became refuges in Israel, but less than a decade after they were already left the camps and join the Israeli society. Why all of the refugees from the end of ww2 (3 years before 1948) aren't refugees for generations and refugees of even latest conflicts (the Balkan wars at the 1991) now aren't, but the Palestinians still are? is the Arab countries using just them?

rafvrab, even former Israeli PM's have acknowledged that Palestinians who fled to camps in 48 did so because of the terrorism of Irgun et al. If THEY can admit it why can't you?

In March 1976. Mahmoud Abbas, the current president of the Palestinian Authority, wrote: "The Arab armies entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians from the Zionist tyranny but, instead, they abandoned them, forced them to emigrate and to leave their homeland, and threw them into prisons similar to the ghettos in which the Jews used to live."
