About 2.3 million Palestinians live in Gaza, about 3 million in the West Bank, and about 2.1 million in Israel or East Jerusalem. More than 3 million live in Jordan, and the other four million or so are scattered, with the biggest numbers in Syria, Chile, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the USA. Of those segments, now, the 21% (and increasing) Arab population in Israel and East Jerusalem probably has the greatest leverage in securing a democratic outcome for the much-defeated Palestinian people.
A crowd of nearly a dozen people gathered at the corner of Main Street and Mill Street in downtown Aspen on Saturday to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza after the Hamas October attacks sparked rampant violence throughout the region.
The 7 October 2023 breakout of Palestinian fighters from the Gaza Concentration Camp was apparently aimed at capturing Israeli hostages to be exchanged
Hundreds of people took to the streets in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and The Hague on Tuesday evening to protest against an explosion at a hospital in the Gaza Strip that killed hundreds of Palestinians. Politicians in The Hague expressed widespread horror and disgust at the bombing. Israel and the Palestinian militant movement Hamas blame each other for firing the rocket.
The saga of the refugees that never were. After 1948 the Arabs either remained in Israel or fled to what became the West Bank or Jordan. All these territories were in fact part of historic Palestine and that includes Gaza. They may have been displaced or internal refugees but certainly not refugees in the true meaning of that word.You have refugee camps in Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jerusalem that were governed by Jordan until 1967 . But all this was still part of pre 1948 Palestine. They now live under the PA, so how does that make them refugees.When you look at the history of refugees you have Germans expelled from France, Poland, Czechoslovalia- Pakistanis and Indians expelled from each other territory- Royhingas expelled to Bangladesh and that is only recent history . Do you even hear them being called refugees anymore. Most importantly the Jewish refugees from Arab countries resettled in Israel. Source link
