Refugees: The Unending Tragedy Part 2
We continue our exploration of how war and oppression made the 20th century a century of refugees. After World War II, 200,000 Jews attempt to reach Palestine. But Arab nations are opposed, and clashes break out across Palestine. In 1947, Britain abandons efforts to resolve the Palestinian question, and the United Nations passes a resolution to divide Palestine. At last the Jews have a homeland. Arab opposition is fierce, and sparks the first Arab-Israeli war. 700,000 Arabs are expelled from their homes. We also cover Hungary's uprising in 1956, the collapse of South Vietnam, and the genocide in Cambodia.
