The palastinians were expelled from their homes in israel and you say israel has no blame.



If you said "the palestinians were refused the right to repatriate to Israel" you would be more accurate, as the great majority of the Arabs of Palestine (they weren't "Palestinians" yet) self-evacuated or fled in panic, but were not expelled. They could have stayed without fear of the Jews. They left in fear of the Arabs, not the Jews.

The compelling reasons that caused Israel to refuse them repatriation, and the fact that they, uniquely among all refugee populations, have remained "refugees" in "refugee camps" for generations instead of being resettled, are 100% the fault of the Arabs.
