"The Palestinians are neither the first nor the last population to become refugees. This condition is the inevitable outcome of tragic conflict--and the 20th century alone saw refugees on an epic scale due to its numerous conflicts. Tribal feuds, ethnic and religious clashes and full-scale wars have always resulted in the forced displacement of populations, usually as the only alternative to violent death. The more bitter and drawn-out the fighting, the more numerous and scarred the refugees left amid the ruins." (JERUSALEM POST) This article describes the plight of the Palestinian refugees by providing an historical account of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
