Los Angeles contains one of the largest concentrations of Palestinian Americans in the United States. ==History== The population of the Palestinian diaspora in America is estimated to be between 150,000 and 250,000. Palestinians account for approximately 10 percent of the Arab-American community. The first wave of migration occurred in 1908 when the Ottoman Empire began mandating military service for Palestinians. 〔 The second wave occurred in 1948 after the Nakba caused many Palestinians to leave their homes. The third and largest wave occurred in 1967 as a result of the Six-Day War in Israel. The vast majority of these immigrants left for economic and educational reasons. 〔 Although the majority of Palestinian immigrants settled on the East Coast, economic opportunity brought large concentrations of Palestinians to Los Angeles. 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「History of Palestinians in Los Angeles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
