The forgotten half of the story, from Point of No Return:
In just 50 years, almost a million Jews, whose communities stretch back up to 3,000 years, have been 'ethnically cleansed' from 10 Arab countries. These refugees outnumber the Palestinian refugees two to one, but their narrative has all but been ignored. Unlike Palestinian refugees, they fled not war, but systematic persecution. Seen in this light, Israel, where some 50 percent of the Jewish population descend from these refugees and are now full citizens, is the legitimate expression of the self-determination of an oppressed indigenous, Middle Eastern people.
And the 500,000++ Christian Pontic Greeks, and Armenians who had to flee their lands!
What do they teach here in the UK in schools? I bet none of this gets a mention.

No, It's pretty much forgotten.
