Jewish Refugees from Arab Lands

"The Jewish refugees who were forced to flee Arab and Muslim countries also suffered. Most settled in the State of Israel and some settled elsewhere.
The Jewish refugee issue, including compensation for lost assets must also be addressed.
Additionally the State of Israel deserves compensation for the cost of absorbing Jewish refugees from those countries.
A just, fair and realistic solution for the issue relating to Jewish refugees must be implemented through an appropriate international mechanism separate from an Israel/Palestine Peace agreement."
---President Trump's Peace Plan

Today, almost 2 million Arabs live in Israel. 70 years ago that number was 160,000.
Today, only a few thousand Jews live in the Arab world. 70 years ago that number was almost 1 million. So who is guilty of ethnic cleansing? |

Ever heard of the 860,000 Jews evicted from their homes in Arab lands between 1948 and 1972?
Probably not. It's one of the major untold stories of the twentieth century.
These people had their homes and possessions confiscated, were stripped of whatever rights they had, and hounded out of countries they had lived in in some cases for more than 2,000 years.
Those who came to Israel became full citizens of the country and integrated into its social fabric.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the definition of a refugee pertains to an individual who has lost both their home and livelihood. The status of refugee is not transferred to his/her descendants.
Unless you're a Palestinian.
Under the pressure from several Arab nations, the UN formed UNRWA, The United Nations Relief and Works Agency. The only agency in the UN dedicated to just one group of people, the Palestinians. Under UNRWA the definition of a Palestinian refugee is different from all other refugees worldwide in that the status of refugee is transferred indefinitely from generation to generation. Because of this the Palestinians are the only group of refugees whose numbers are growing rather than shrinking.
It's time to treat the Palestinians like other refugees worldwide--transfer them to the UNHCR, treat them like all other refugees worldwide.
