I know you are being sarcastic, but I wouldn't put it past pro-Israeli members on this forum to take you seriously, so I'll respond. Encyclopedia Britannica:"By the late 20th century there were nearly four million
registered Palestinian refugees." (

That includes just registered refugees with the United Nations, and does not include unregistered ones. And the statistic is out of date, as evidenced by "by the late 20th century".
A BBC articles says that the number of Palestinian refugees totals up to "more than six million people, one of the biggest displaced populations in the world." (BBC News)
Six million? That number sound familiar?
