A CRASH COURSE ON THE MIDDLE EAST

THE U.N. RECORD ON ISRAEL AND THE ARABS

Of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 (55%) were directed against Israel.

Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 (62%) were directed against Israel.

ARAB AND JEWISH REFUGEES

The U.N. has been totally silent on the Palestinian history of suicide bombings, lynchings, terrorist attacks, bus hijackings, cafe bombings, etc.

In 1948, approximately 630,000 Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
 

In that same era, approximately 630,000 Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to brutality, persecution and pogroms.

Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.
 

Arab refugees were intentionally not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of 100 million worldwide refugees since World War Two, these Arabs are the only refugee group in the world that has not been integrated into their own peoples' lands.
