I’ve read the whole thing & blogged extensively about it (see attached link) & Nill has got it precisely right. This is a piece of agitprop with absolutely no factual value.

If you disagree why don’t you read the entire document yrself & tell us what facts or useful information you’ve been able to glean fr. it.

At least they admit to scapegoating migrants for their own purposes. It’s better than scapegoating migrants while pretending that it’s about the economy, healthcare, education, or any number of issues that people use migrants to blame for.

^Agreed^ The Jews lost their lease over 1,900 years ago. The great good will the civilized world held toward the 20th Century Hebrews after their Nazi horror is playing out rapidly.

The return of refugees is the return of refugees, not mass immigration. So, maybe, the return should be denied because of lag time — the departure in 1948 was soooo long ago. And it’s not just the original refugees, but their descendants — that’s just toooo many. Who could possibly countenance such an untimely and large return?

Of course, the last Jewish departure was in 77 CE. If ever there was a return of refugees which constituted mass immigration, it would be the creation of Israel. And none of those “refugees” had been alive in the year 77.

So, the reasons for denying the return of the Arab refugees are the same that should have prevented the creation of Israel?

It’s a 116 page document. You quoted a five line passage. Let’s do better next time. Try reading the entire thing. Yes you can!
