Richard, I would like to add to Nadine's comments on the Palestinian refugees and their camps. The Arab countries, except Jordan in a small way, do not wish to settle the Palestinians in their respective countries as not to set a precedent and give the Israelis an out for the refugees right of return as prescribed by International Law (for what that is worth at times). It is the belief that these refugees are to return to their land in what is now Israel and they are adhereing to that policy. Nadine asks why Jewish refugees are hardly ever mentioned. The Jewish refugees that she is considering are refugees all right, but not refugees from Palestine but from Europe and later refugees from Iraq and ,b>other Arab countries after the establishment of the State of Israel and as a consequence of the establishment of a Jewish State over the objections of the Arab world. Those Mizrhai Jews had lived in those Arab countries for centuries and prospered there. Some, with little doubt, left voluntarily to go to the State of Israel now that it existed.
