it was Britain and America's fault for failing to take those refugees in.

I also love how expulsion of Arabs is justified because Israel took in an equivalent number of Jews. By analogy, the theft of Australia from the Aborigines was justified because Australia imported enough white people to take their place.

Clearly, the misery of the Aborigines should be laid to rest at the feet of their Black brothers in Papua New Guinea for not welcoming them into their fold.
