It all boils to the essential “racism” of the Arab political class and Muslim religious leaders, which goes as follows: Arabs with no family in Palestine, had, and have a “right” to immigrate to Palestine, but Jews did, and do not.
Notice also, that all Arabs living in Israel when it became a state, became Israeli citizens, as did/do their children; while most of the Jews in most of the Arab states were stripped of their citizenship and expelled.
Oh come on
Christian Arabs were 10% of the Mandate population in 1946
Many fled during the war and lost everything
I know several of those families
Those in lucky areas not caught up in the battles survived and many are now Israelis
Whatever u want to call these folks
Druze
Muslim
Christian
A lot of folks got displaced rightfully or wrongly
Armed Nation building is never pretty
Israel at least didn’t butcher the vanquished did they which is what some Muslims would have sure done to them
There’s no dispute tat today given the rabbit breeding of the muslin she there are now millions descended from their 1948 diaspora and Israel would never just kill them all so what to do with them
Worse they are radicalized now unlike 70 years ago
Shiite Amal and Hezbollah and Hamas control the refugees and Lebanon making it all much worse
Iran basically is the power broker
The Christians mostly gave up the struggle and moved on but some are still in Gaza and West Bank and southern Lebanon
It’s a mess and Syria right next door
A Yom Kippur war vet friend of mine on Muslim arabs
They are at your throat or your feet...,you choose
They respect a firm hand
No one can fix this
