Post-war West Germany was an impoverished, occupied country, but not a single German was put in a refugee camps to eternally await the mythical day when the ancient imperial capital, Koenigsberg, will be returned to its former inhabitants. They simply took their place alongside their fellow Germans in new homes. My mother was one of these people. <br />It is not in the interest of either Israel or the Palestinian people to maintain this open running sore. But it is in the political calculation of every other neighboring and nearby state. Things are the way they are because all the Arab governments (and Iran)want it that way. <br />More than enough money has been already been spent by the US and the EU, to say nothing of what oil rich states could do if they wanted to, if the goal was actually to resettle and re-equip these displaced peoples in prosperous new lives.<br />Tiny Israel absorbed Jewish refugees from the entire Arab world with hardly a hiccup. There was no real difference between the indigenous people who were displaced in either direction - all of the difference was in the attitude of their new neighbors and their governments: "can-do" vs. "won't-do."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
