The Israeli Holocaust Against the Palestinians Hoax
Who, in the age of the Internet, hasn't been exposed to the outrageous lies against Israel? Consider that Israel has been accused of "ethnic cleansing," "genocide," and "crimes against humanity." Oh really?
In 1948 there were 1.35 million Arabs living between the Jordan and the Mediterranean (1); more Arabs than had ever lived in Palestine before because of Zionist building up of the region. By 2013 there were many millions more - hardly a holocaust. Consider the following graph:
In 1939 there were 17 million Jews in the world and by the end of WWII there were only 11 million left (2). By 2013 there are still fewer Jews living today than in 1939 - now that's a holocaust.

But I do agree there are "crimes against humanity" in the case of Palestinians. I'm talking about the horrific conditions Palestinian refugees are forced to live under in Arab countries:
On the Contrary, ANNALS OF THE ISRAELI HOLOCAUST AGAINST PALESTINIANS
Lebanese law prohibits Palestinian refugees from employment in most professions, restricting them to menial jobs.
Suffocating conditions
A memorial is not likely to improve the lives of the estimated 400,000 Palestinian refugees living in a dozen camps such as Shatila across Lebanon. The tight alleyways block sunlight, open sewers fill puddles in the street, and piles of garbage are everywhere, creating a suffocating stench. Little is available in terms of health care.
Palestinians are forced to endure these conditions because they are barred from owning property and earning decent wages in Lebanon. Though they have resided in the country for more than 60 years, Lebanese law prohibits Palestinian refugees from employment in most professions, restricting them to menial jobs. Lebanese officials frequently cite the danger of upsetting Lebanon's delicate Sunni-Shia-Christian power-sharing system as a reason behind the government's hardline policy.
For some camp residents, the only real option is to escape from Lebanon.
It is the same in the other 21 states of the Arab League which has instructed its members to deny citizenship to Palestinian Arab refugees (or their descendants); see my article Not One Square Foot of Living Space for Arabs for more details.
There is no Israeli-inspired holocaust in the case of Palestinians, but certainly the Arab nations have made sure that Palestinians live like crap in their own countries so they can point to fabricated "crimes against humanity."

MidEast Web, The Population of Palestine Prior to 1948
Zionist settlement between 1880 and 1948 did not displace or dispossess Palestinians. Every indication is that there was net Arab immigration into Palestine in this period, and that the economic situation of Palestinian Arabs improved tremendously under the British Mandate relative to surrounding countries. By 1948, there were approximately 1.35 million Arabs and 650,000 Jews living between the Jordan and the Mediterranean, more Arabs than had ever lived in Palestine before, and more Jews than had lived there since Roman times. Analysis of population by sub-districts shows that Arab population tended to increase the most between 1931 and 1948 in the same areas where there were large proportions of Jews. Therefore, Zionist immigration did not displace Arabs.

SimpleToRemember.com, World Jewish Population
In 1939, there were 17 million Jews in the world, and by 1945 only 11 million. While in the 13 years following the Holocaust the Jewish population grew by one million, it took another 38 years for it to grow another million. These sobering figures reflect how severely Jewish population growth has slowed down over the past 40 years.
