It will be much more than $ 30 billion. There was a very rich family in Aden called BANIN family. Family Banin had hundreds of houses in Crater, Sheikh Othman, Tawahi (Steamer Point) and all over Aden, including many lands. The British Government have banned family Banin from buying any more properties. Banin Family have contributed to the Adeni Jewish community School, Synagogues, shelters (when Yemeni Jews use to come to Aden to go to Israel, Yemeni Jews use to live in the shelter and others donated by Banin family family.

Edy Cohen is right to emphasize the Jewish refugee reality, dispossession and loss of billons and private and communal property, However she is wrong to claim that Palestinians became refugees because of the Jews' declaration of independence, the Arabs could have done the same. Instead, all surrounding Arab states invaded Israel pledging to drive the Jews into the sea, as did the Palestinians. The Arabs failed to destroy Israel and Arabs fled behind Arab military lines, into Lebanon, Syria and Jordan and into Jordanian occupied 'west bank' and Egyptian occupied Gaza. All these Palestinians were then declared refugees and deliberately not integrated into Arab countries. They were kept permanently in refugee neighborhoods all paid for by the UN. Even today, the independent PA is never solvent, always demanding millions and billions more from the world rather than taking responsibility for their people. At this rate, any 'Palestinian state' will be a deliberately failed state dependent on aid. Israel meanwhile is self-supporting and extremely successful, which makes the Arabs and their supporters jealous. Kol Ha'Kavod le Yisrael!

Arab Jews were urged and coerced to leave by Zionism, Palestinians were forced to leave their ancestral homeland at gunpoint. There is no comparison.

They must all be considered absentee landowners. All their property is being held in trust by the respective governments. Just like the Palestinians.

Nope. The assets of the Jews in Arab countries were systematically stolen by government officials ad their cronies, who used their positions to falsify transfer of ownership documents. The Arab League made sure their grand larceny had the trappings of legality.

Arab Jews were thrown out of their countries with their possessions stolen (if they were 'lucky' and not killed). Most "Palestinians" left at the behest of the arab armies. "Palestinian" is in quotes as the arabs declared themselves as such in 1964 as a political construct with which to fight Israel, and have admitted as much. Until then they insisted they were not "Palestinian" but Syrian, Egyptian, etc. Many still do, including Hamas, as posted on Youtube. Read some history, then post.
