These Jewish refugees, in many cases, were not allowed to sell their property, businesses or goods before departing.  Many Muslim governments profitted from their departure, obtaining in many cases large swaths of land and big businesses.  Many Jewish refugees, previously rich, left everything behind, for fear that if they remained, they and their families were killed.  Each country from which they came had events that led the Jews to believe they were in danger, leading to the mass exodus.

U.N.  Declaration for Refuges and
the status of  Palestinian Refuges.

The U.N.'s universal definition of a refugee :
"Any person who has been forced to abandon his permanent home in his natural habitat since time immemorial will be considered a refugee".
In only one instance has this definition been expanded upon, through the pressure of the Arab League. The broadened definition is as follows: "Every Arab who left Palestine-the Land of Israel in 1948, who had lived there for two years , will also be considered a refugee he and his descendants ". Why did the Arab countries bother to expand this definition?

The encounter between students and adults that came from diverse cultural frames , brings up central issues about the trilateral exchanges.
