<<Regardless of what happened, Israel did not allow the refugees to return when the war ended>> The war never ended. A truce was arranged in 1949. Israel remained officially in a state of war with all her neighbors until 1979. LV, I wish the Palestinian refugees could have returned or been resettled. They were poor leaderless peasants for the most part; the war wasn't their fault. Return, resettlement and reparations for both Arab and Jewish refugees should have been properly addressed at the Arab-Israeli peace talks, which never happened. They would have happened if the Arab countries had cared anything about the Palestinians as people. But they didn't (indeed the Palestinians are scorned in the Arab world for having run); they just wanted the refugee issue to use as a weapon against Israel. So the more refugees, and the more miserable, the better. Asking the Israelis to reabsorb a large and potentially hostile population while they remained in a state of war with all their neighbors was too much to ask. Especially while Israel was absorbing the mass of Jewish refugees from the Arab countries. If the Arabs had been willing to offer recognition and peace, I'm sure it would have been a different story.
