TFJ Season 2 Episode 22 The Refugee Problem Consequential of Israel’s War of Independence

Israel’s War of Independence resulted in three distinct refugee problems: 70,000 Israelis that were displaced from their homes and villages because of the war, 700,000 Arabs that fled Israel because of the war, and over 800,000 Jewish refugees from Arab lands that had to flee for their lives. Teller From Jerusalem filters between the truth and the propaganda concerning the misery and suffering of those disposed. It is very telling how Israel and her neighbors reacted to the refugees of their respective peoples. Were they embraced as brethren or manipulated to become a political opportunity and ultimately a time bomb.
