as you say ,israel was already busy with its own influx of refugees...why ?
because israel desperately needed more jews to form a state.
Israels motive is clear.


It's true that Israel had use for more population, but so did the Arab states, which were lightly populated, not like now after their vast population explosion of the last 60 years. Are you suggesting that Israel should have turned away the survivors of the Holocaust and left them in DP camps?

Israel also had donations to finance the intergration of arriving jews.



So did the Arabs. They had even more as it turned out, enough UN donations to have somebody else feed and house the refugees permanently. Money and housing WAS NOT the problem.

Remember, the number of Jews kicked out of the Arab states were as much or more as the Arab refugees from Palestine. There was empty housing available...had they cared to use it.

You're not even trying to make a serious argument now, you're just making stuff up.
