Do you know why is Chile today home to 490,000 Palestinians??

Answer: The South American Palestinians population was created by an Israeli government initiative during the post war period (1948 to 1952) when Palestinian Israelis were "encouraged" to leave Palestine (now Israel) and sell up their property in Israel.
Martial law and having the threat of confiscation of land was a big incentive. Palestinian owned land was put out of bounds by the military governor and then the Ottoman laws on land cultivation were used to appropriate Palestinian owned land. A case of sell up or have it taken anyway. Many Palestinians had to sell (at a very reduced price) and get away from martial law.
The same method is used today in the West Bank, only difference is that Israeli authorities don't bother with offering Palestinians the chance to sell.

    <span>Now I know that the retarded one will hop in post swift to enlighten us with an explanation of his own (meaning gleaned from Totten's right wing Zionist blog) but the fact of the matter is that those are facts survivors themselves have been telling no matter how much efforts Israeli propaganda machine will try to whitewash a well documented ethnic cleansing of Palestine.</span>

    This sounds nothing like the facts that Newt (I'll move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem) Gingrich is telling us.

    Just before I was about to Google that, I'll give it a try. Does it mean a bad for a good?

    More or less.  It signifies that something which may be deemed "bad" always occurs for a greater good.

    This is good. Having large expatriot communities is a powerful asset that Palestine can use to maximize GDP growth in Palestine and global Palestinian influence [or Palestinian "empire" to use leftist terminology.]

    One of the reasons China is such a great and powerful global superpower is because it has 80 to 100 million expatriot Chinese who are very influential in many scores of countries around the world.

    India's, Turkey's and Brazil's rise to superpower status have been accelerated by their large expatriot populations as well.

    Immigrants and expatriots make countries powerful. Does anyone disagree? TGIA? VAA? Mara? VZA? Molly?
