این حرف شما با عرضه معذرت دروغ است. بسیاری از یهودیان کشورهای عربی ، مخصوصاً عراق و یمن ، از خانه و کاشانه خود رانده شدند ، در خیابان به آنها حمله میشد ، از حقوق شهروندی محروم شدند ، اموال آنها مصادره شد و از کشور رانده شدند. از زمان پیمان اسلو هم که مذاکرات صورت گرفته ، هیچ وقت بحث این پناهندگان فراموش شده مورد بحث قرار نگرفته است ، و البته که کشورهای عربی باید غرامت تمامی اموال و خانه و کاشانه آنها را بدهند (در هر قرارداد صلحی!). پناهندگان فلسطینی هم هنوز آواره هستند ، برای چه؟ آیا تقصیر اسرائیل است؟ خیر در کشورهای عربی آنها از کوچکترین حقوق انسانی محروم هستند ، معمولان وقتی یک نفر یک جا پناهنده میشود ، آنجا تشکیل زندگی میدهد ، ولی پناهندگان فلسطینی در بد‌ترین شرایط زندگی در کشورهای عربی هستند! آیا این نیز تقصیر اسرائیل است ، هیچ کدام حق کار ندارند ، اردوگاه‌های آنها آب و برق ندارد ، حق خرید زمین یا خانه ندارند ، حق ازدواج با غیر فلسطینی را ندارند!
ببخشید! کجای حرف من دروغ بود؟
Israeli historian Yehoshua Porath has rejected the comparison, arguing that while there is a superficial similarity, the ideological and historical significance of the two population movements are entirely different. Porath points out that the immigration of Jews from Arab countries to Israel, expelled or not, was the "fulfilment of a national dream". He also argues that the achievement of this Zionist goal was only made possible through the endeavors of the Jewish Agency's agents, teachers, and instructors working in various Arab countries since the 1930s. Porath contrasts this with the Palestinian Arabs' flight of 1948 as completely different. He describes the outcome of the Palestinian's flight as an "unwanted national calamity" that was accompanied by "unending personal tragedies". The result was "the collapse of the Palestinian community, the fragmentation of a people, and the loss of a country that had in the past been mostly Arabic-speaking and Islamic. "[121]

The assertion that Jewish emigrants from Arab countries should be considered refugees has received mixed reactions from various quarters.
Iraqi-born Ran Cohen, a former member of the Knesset, said: "I have this to say: I am not a refugee. I came at the behest of Zionism, due to the pull that this land exerts, and due to the idea of redemption. Nobody is going to define me as a refugee". Yemeni-born Yisrael Yeshayahu, former Knesset speaker, Labor Party, stated: "We are not refugees. [Some of us] came to this country before the state was born. We had messianic aspirations". And Iraqi-born Shlomo Hillel, also a former speaker of the Knesset, Labor Party, claimed: "I do not regard the departure of Jews from Arab lands as that of refugees. They came here because they wanted to, as Zionists."[122]
Historian Tom Segev stated: "Deciding to emigrate to Israel was often a very personal decision. It was based on the particular circumstances of the individual's life. They were not all poor, or 'dwellers in dark caves and smoking pits'. Nor were they always subject to persecution, repression or discrimination in their native lands. They emigrated for a variety of reasons, depending on the country, the time, the community, and the person."[123][better source needed]
Yehuda Shenhav has criticized the analogy between Jewish emigration from Arab countries and the Palestinian exodus. He also says "The unfounded, immoral analogy between Palestinian refugees and Mizrahi immigrants needlessly embroils members of these two groups in a dispute, degrades the dignity of many Mizrahi Jews, and harms prospects for genuine Jewish-Arab reconciliation." He has stated that "the campaign's proponents hope their efforts will prevent conferral of what is called a "right of return" on Palestinians, and reduce the size of the compensation Israel is liable to be asked to pay in exchange for Palestinian property appropriated by the state guardian of "lost" assets".
و در ضمن من گفتم دلایل متفاوت بوده و منکر اقدامات ضد یهودیها در برهه هایی نیستم ولی Yehoshua Porath درست می گوید که شباهت سطحی است!
