Think of all the money channeled to banks in Jordan and Lebanon for example through the UNRWA. <br />They don't want a solution. And they don't want a solution because the more time passes, the more they stand to gain.<br /><br />Coincidentally, I had that conversation with a BDS activist yesterday. She/he was furious when I said that the "solution to the Jewish refugees must be linked and conditional to the solution for the Palestinian refugees."<br /><br />Keep up the good work.<br /><br />PS: The Jordanians have known about it. In fact the Iraqis's initial plan was to transfer the Jews through Jordan. It would be useful to repost that. I think it was in a conversation with our friend "iraqi anonymous" where I had posted some information to that effect from Martin Gilbert's book.Sylvianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-75864428375703667322012-07-09T22:16:27.805+01:002012-07-09T22:16:27.805+01:00And we should never ever forget what a 'Palest...And we should never ever forget what a 'Palestinian State' means in that context.

She must have been about 14 or 16 at the time. She never talked about it, except to say that she and her family left Libya in 1967. In the past few years, people have begun to talk about the plight of the Jewish refugees thrown our of Arab and Moslem countries---places where some of them had been living for hundreds of years. <br /><br />I read one person's account of being "evacuated" from their home. I think it may have been in Libya. The Jews were loaded onto buses, only able to bring what could be loaded in a suitcase. The bus driver of one of the buses, once it was full, set fire to the bus, with the people inside. Reading it made me cry. And to date, what these people went through--whether they were kicked out of their homes, and their belonging confiscated in 1948 or 1967, should be remembered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
