    The word 'none' is a contraction of 'no one'.
    'One' is an singular adjective which thus requires a singular noun (in this context 'refugee').
    If the sentence was grammatically correct it would be: "No one [refugee] of them [all of the refugees] is pro-Israel.
    Thus the sentence requires the singular verb 'is'.
