Thanks, Alex, for the summary. One correction and one additional point.

The correction is that the Six Day War was June, 1967, not 1969.

The one additional point is that many of the so-called refugees are descendants of people who left their homes voluntarily in 1948 because Arab leaders told them to and told them that it would just be for a brief time until the Israelis were pushed into the sea. The Arab nations (who have more than 99% of the land in the Middle East) have now had more than 50 years to assimilate their people and have chosen to keep them as refugees. In the same time period, Israel has incorporated hundreds of thousands of immigrants from around the world, turning them into productive citizens.
