The refugee demand is so lame in the first place. There was more Jewish refugees in the aftermath of the 1948 war then Arabs. It was an exchange of populations. Arabs moved to Arab countries, Jews from said Arab countries moved to Israel. Israel resettled their own, and paid for it themselves. The Arab countries should do the same. Maybe the Arab League should put that on their agenda, then at least those petro-dollars would be going toward something useful instead of lining the pockets of corrupt/inept leaders.

i don't know. the jews moved to israel from the arab countries out of their own volition. whereas some of those palestinians had been living there for generations- and so i doubt they went quite as gladly.
