jordan,syria and egypt could hardley be expected to welcome and intergrate large potentially destabilizing refugees from another country.

Oh for heaven's sake--what are you talking about?! The number of Iraqi refugees today absolutely swamps the number of Arab refugees back then. Where are the camps for them? The number of Cambodian refugees back in the late 70s absolutely swamps the number of Arab refugees in '48. The number of Muslim refugees from India in '48 absolutely swamped the number of Arab refugees in '48. I could go on and on.

Resettling a few hundred thousand refugees is, relatively speaking, nothing. Millions have been frequently resettled over the years. Without semi-permanent camps.
