A Leauki's Writings

The Arab countries have deported their Jewish population in the last 80 years. A few thousand are left in Morocco and Tunisia. Most Arab states are Jew-free.

Jordan deported all its Jews in 1948, including those who lived in Jerusalem when Jordan annexed it.

The "international community" does not appear to have a problem with that. When the UN speak of "refugees" they mean "non-Jewish refugees". "International law" apparently differentiates between Jew and non-Jew.

There is no special UN agency to look after those Jewish refugees and there are no discussions about compensation.

All current "peace plans" include a Jew-free "Palestinian" state in the West-Bank, including the Jewish holy city which only 70 years ago had a Jewish majority population (and still does).

Nobody has a problem with that either. A Jew-free "Palestinian" state is not only not problematic, it's actually what the "international community" demands.

Can somebody tell me why it would be wrong for Israel to deport all Arabs within Israel's area of control?

Wouldn't that bring peace?

(For all I care the deported Arabs could get the property stolen from the deported Jews.)

I think the UN should give up the pretence and simply declare it illegal for Jews to buy or own land and defend themselves against attackers.

Maybe we can get Obama to make that proposal.

From a purely cerebral point, it is logical.  Jewish refugees will be provided for - by Israel.  So the UN does not have to care about them.  Arab refugees on the other hand will not be provided for, so they become a problem for the UN.

Logical.  But then stepping out of a dispassionate analysis of it, the obvious question is why are is Israel so humanitarian, and the arab world so cold and heartless?

But the UN will not address that question.  It would go against the U (Useless) in their name.

Bibi should bring up compensation of refugees as a prerequisite for talks.

Arab refugees (about 500,000) and Jewish refugees (about 900,000) should be compensated equally by the countries they fled.

For all I care the Arab League can decide how much each refugee should get.

As for a refugee "right to return", such a right never existed. The UN demanded that all refugees must be allowed back IF they are willing to be peaceful, which the Arab refugees are clearly not. (If they are peaceful now the few thousand remaining real refugees can return. Why not.)

And the jewish refugees certainly wouldn't want to return to the Arab countries they fled. Only three of the former home countries have called for a return anyway: Morocco, Tunisia, and Iraq. (But in Iraq's case it was a private organisation run by a former Kudish security chief.)
