When the talk in the halls of the United Nations (UN) turns to Middle Eastern refugees, it is usually referred to Palestinian, and more recently Syrian refugees. The same is true at the European Union (EU) meetings, when the subject is refugees. In fact, at UN headquarters in New York, one cannot avoid the photographic display of Palestinian refugees in its hallways. What is not discussed, let alone commemorated or acted upon in the form of resolutions, are the stories of the 900,000 Jewish refugees expelled from Arab countries. In response to the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel in 1948, they were expelled, and subsequent expulsions followed. There is no special day designated by the UN dedicated to the fate of these Jews, their existence, and ultimate disappearance.
