The issue is if multiple images of distant galaxies can be seen.

A star or quasar is radiating light in all direction.
So if, relative to us, the star or quasar is behind a large
galaxy, light that is passing close by the galaxy may be
gravitational deflected so that the light is bent towards us.
If the star or quasar is exactly on a straight line behind
the gravitating galaxy, light passing on different sides
may be bent towards us, so we see multiple images or even
a ring.

Make my day. Keep denying facts.

You're so lame brain that you didn't address the issue which is whether
it is refraction or gravity. Duh!

Laurence Clark Crossen believe that the issue is if
Einstein crosses and Einstein rings are created by
refraction or gravitational lensing.
What do you think it is, Laurence?
Refraction in the intergalactic medium? :-D
