New York's Lower East Side. At camp,
they received a fine education, good
child care and opportunities for devel-
opment.
Since those years, we have never met
to renew friendships developed in this
setting. Since the end of World War II,
these men and their families moved all
over America. A reunion in the making
for 50 and 60 years has been planned
for Oct. 18 in New York City.

The Truth
About Refugees

As students of Middle East politics, we
are dismayed by the lack of historically
accurate information regarding Israel's
50 years of statehood.
Seemingly forgotten is the 1947
United Nation's partition plan giving
the Arabs 87.5 percent of historic
Palestine. This plan was rejected by the
Arabs who, in waging war, hoped to
annihilate the Jewish state.
Israel's victory ensured the Jewish
national home and consequently
prompted the Arabs to create the most
popular myth portrayed in Middle
East politics today — that Israel
forcibly removed Palestinian Arabs
from their lands and thus is responsi-
ble for the current refugee situation.
The fact that responsibility for the
current Palestinian refugee problem
falls directly on the Arab leaders them-
selves is most clearly stated in the
memoirs of Haled al Azm, the former
Syrian prime minister, who admitted
that "since 1948 we have been
demanding the return of (Palestinian)
refugees to their homes. But we our-
selves are the ones who encouraged
them to leave."
The Arabs who ignored the Pales-
tinian leadership and remained in
Israel in 1948 have enjoyed democratic
and religious freedoms not available in
most Arab countries. Israel's just treat-
ment of its Arab citizens in light of
false claims regarding the refugee situa-
tion should lead us to focus not on
baseless propaganda, but instead on
celebrating Israel as upholding the
only true democracy in the Middle
East for the last 50 years.
