    "The world needs to understand that it is not just the Arabs and it's not just the Palestinians in the Middle East, but also Jewish people who themselves were dispossessed of their possessions and their homes, and were victims of terrorist acts," one of the bill's co-sponsors, Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) said.
    Rep. Mike Ferguson (R-N.J.), said the United Nations' unwillingness to acknowledge the plight of Jewish refugees "is completely unacceptable and long over due, and this is one of the things this resolution seeks to address. [haaretz]

    I know that my posting would provoke frummelach Zionist hysteria. But that’s because such illiterate people cannot even express themselves in English or study history properly. The fact is that although there were a couple of cases of attacks on Jews in 1948 and 1967, most Jews preferred to remain in their countries, even after the Zionist set bombs in synagogues in Baghdad and Cairo. Contact Naim Giladi in Manhattan. He worked for the Mossad in 1948 and wrote a book about it!

    The UN is a bunch self serving, hypocritic, intellectual snobs. In Algeria 100 times as many people have been killed by extremist Islamic terrorists in the same time period (from 1992,) than in Israel – Palestine. UN response? Zero. The hundreds of thouseands of Croations slaughtered by the Serbs? Forgotten. Murder,Rape, and pillaging going on in Darfur as we speak? Zero. Tibet, occupied by China since 1947? Non-issue. Tens of thousands killed in the Indian-Pakistani disputed province of Kashmir since 1948. UN resolution? yes, put off the resolution of 1947 to have a vote,…again. What is the reason for the UN’s existence? The Klausenberger Roov zt”l said (1984)the reason for the UN is that when the times comes to extract payment from the Goyim for all the evil they poured out on the Yidden, how can Hashem hold guilty the goy in Fiji that never saw a Yid and doesn’t know what a Yid is. Hashem allowed the creation of the UN so all Goyim could demonstrate their hatred for Yidden and be punished accordingly. Kein yihee ratzoan

    And, by the way. It’s all the faults of the Zionists!!!

    get the facts straight, no arabs were thrown out of the jewish state that has been around not for 60+ yrs. but for 2000 years.the other arab countries told the arabs to leave because they will wipeout the jews from the land.so they left expecting to return to a land with no jews. also go back to school there is no group of people who are “Palestinians” and second something cant be”Occupied” if its yours and you take it back.

    What do you expect? Remember AIPAC…money….In any case, the situations are not comparable unless you agree that everyone should go back to where they came from. Most Moroccan Jews lived in Morocco until at least 1967. They weren’t thrown out before and not after. Until 1979 most Persian Jews were in Iran. Many decided to leave. Same thing with Iraq and Yemen. Of course we know how the Zionists deceived the Yemenite Jews. It’s no secret. And Jews were not thrown out of either Egypt or Tunisia, and many Jews decided on their own to leave those countries in 1956 or 1967. Ma she-eyn ken, the Palestinians were driven out or fled from fear and have a right to return. ALL Arab countries have offered their Jews the right of return. But don’t confuse any Occupied Congressional votes or most readers of this website with the facts.
