Palestinian Refugee Problem and Jewish Majority

: May 15 commemorates the 1948 Palestinian Nakba , over the course of which some 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes in a concentrated effort by Israeli Haganah forces to establish a Jewish majority state in historic Palestine, according to Rabble. To this day those refugees and their descendants, now numbering over 5 million, languish in 58 refugee camps dispersed throughout the West Bank, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. Canada had a role in the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem. On November 29, 1947 the UN adopted UNSCOP recommendation to partition in General Assembly Resolution 181, with disastrous results. Supreme Court Justice Ivan C. Rand, the Canadian delegate to the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine , came to "three basic conclusions" that "marked his contribution" to the committee final report: the British Mandate should end, the Jews ought to have a state of their own in Palestine, and partition was the only way to resolve the Arab-Jewish conflict.
