Of the 900,000 Jewish refugees, nearly 600,000 were absorbed by Israel after it's creation. Close to half of Israel's Jewish citizens are these original refugees, and their descendants. No, they're not merely the descendents of the Jews that lived there 200 years ago - they're descendents of Jews that go back at least 2000 years ago.
