With the numbers that are discussed, such an influx of people would make non-Jews the majority in the country.

So we don't talk about it? You have to admit that there is a strong argument that kicking them out was not exactly the most moral thing to. And taking the homes away from these people and not letting them return could be viewed as not exactly the most just or fair act ever committed. And for the US to ignore what happened kinds of takes us off the moral high ground, does it not?
Unless we at least acknowledged that these people were wronged, don't we lose any credibility as an honest broker?
