Few people have ever heard about the Jewish refugee crisis that happened at the same time as the Palestinian arab refugee crisis. In 1948 during the first arab Israeli war arab countries expelled around 700,000 Jews. Who then settled in Israel. Not only that but tens of thousands of European Jews were forced out of Europe after the Second World War being told by their persecutors to go to Palestine. Massive boat loads of European Jewish refugees sailed for weeks with little food and fresh water trying to find somewhere to settle. Nearly every country rejected them and Palestine was not their only choice. Britain trying to appease the Palestinian arabs tried to prevent them landing in Palestine often shooting at boats filled with Jewish refugees that tried to come ashore. Eventually the British pulled out of Palestine and Jewish refugees were able to settle there. But this was not the end of their problems. Gangs of arab militia attacked Jewish settlements and civil war loomed. So the United Nations decided to partition Palestine which was seen at the time as the best option. But still the arabs would not agree and have continued their war against the Jews ever since.

Actually, the whole article is very interesting, linking to a good Haaretz news article

Anti-Semitism, right here at home

'But above all, dealing with the phenomenon must begin with the demographic madness, whereby everyone is welcome to come here as long as he is not an Arab. Even if he hates the state, even if he hates Jews, he is considered a positive contribution to the needs of the demographic head-count. About a year ago, Lutfi Mashour, the editor of the Arabic newspaper Al-Sinara, told Haaretz that while the Jews are obsessing about the Arab demographic threat, a demographic problem is burgeoning for them in quite a different place.'

I think it symptomatic of the effort to keep the Arabs at bay, and instead bringing in far more hostile elements. Israel was supposed to be a place to escape from anti-semitism, and yet it manifests itself there as well.

And I agree with the end of Yoshi's article, as well. The only solution is a one-state solution, and attempting to come together with the dispossesed Palestinians, rather than trying to hold them at bay and instead accepting all sorts of Russian immigrants 'as long as they're not Arab', who in fact form neo-nazi groups RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ISRAEL.

Craziness.

It is impossible to hide away from the world. At some point it comes knocking on your door, either from without, or in the case of these Russian Nazis in Israel, from within. Surely it's a signal to change tack, and to realise that security only comes through reaching a respectful agreement with your neighbours, not by surrounding yourself with concrete walls and weapons.

Anyway, I found a very nice website
