The story of the Arabs who left the coastal areas of Palestine in the spring of 1948 encapsulates one of the great international frauds of the 20th century. The Arabs are the only declared “refugees” who became refugees by the initiative of their own leaders. The concoction of the monstrous charge that it was the Jews who had driven out the Arabs of Palestine was a strategic decision made by the leaders of the Arab League months after the Arabs’ flight. The Arab “refugees” were not driven out by anyone. The vast majority left at the order or exhortation of

Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Congress adopted a historic resolution recognizing that all victims of the conflict
