What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Bill on rights of Jewish refugee introduced in U.S. Congress

A resolution seeking the guarantee of the rights of Jewish refugees who fled Arab countries will be introduced simultaneously in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives on Thursday....

According to the resolution, anytime the issue of Palestinian refugees will be addressed at any international forum, the U.S. representative will be required to bring attention to the issue of Jewish refugees.

According to estimates, some 900,000 Jews fled Arab countries between 1948 and 1972.

Resolution 242, adopted by the United Nations in 1967, calls for "a just settlement of the refugee problem." The Resolution makes no distinction between Arab refugees and Jewish refugees from Arab countries.
