When the MHGA kids cry about stolen land, remember it's about anti-semitism you will NEVER hear them discuss the 900,000 Jews victimized the same way. (self.politicalexiles)

Starting in 1948, the Arab and Muslim world had stolen the land and exiled around 900,000 Jews.

The reason you NEVER heard this discussed at the same time as Palestinian land being stolen or right of return is exclusively the fact that the MHGA crowd has no principled argument. While they cry about the Palestinian Arabs they will never mention what happened to the Jews.

A REALLY fascinating aspect of this, is if you applied the same unique (and bullshit) UNRWA definition of refugee to these Jews, then there would be millions of them who these alt-left should be calling for their "right of return" across the arab and muslim world. Funny how that's NEVER happened.

The same Wikipedia article linked to by OP

In 1948, more than 700000 Palestinian Arabs – about half of prewar Mandatory Palestine's Arab population – fled from their homes or were expelled by Zionist militias and, later, the Israeli army

So....?

Yes your article mentions the exodus was mostly the Zionist policies of immigration into the new Israel state. Not exiles. Yes you are correct that 900,000 Jewish "refugees" moved into stolen land and displaced the same number of Palestinians. Is that what you want people to know?

EDIT: The downvotes for me telling the user that I'm busy but not ignoring them are fucking HILLARIOUS. You people are seriously mentally ill.

I don't want you thinking I'm ignoring you or your points which I think are perfect for a meaningful discussion. But I'm tired AF, have 3 death threats to report to law enforcement, and then I'm going to crash.

So again, sorry for the delay but I will attempt to answer you in earnest tomorrow.
