According to UNRWA, a Palestinian "refugee" is someone who was living in the region of "Palestine" (also known as the British Palestine Mandate) two years before the state of Israel was born. This definition doesn't fit international law. The grandson of a "refugee," born in another country, cannot be called "a refugee" himself. If we take UNWRA's definition seriously, I am a refugee since my parents/grandparents were refugees from Arab countries who escaped to Israel. So, what is UNRWA's interest making sure Palestinians are called refugees? Rather than seriously assisting Palestinians, UNWRA has purportedly hired Hamas terrorists to work for them and have idly stood by while Hamas terrorists loot aid meant for Gaza residents.
Thanks :) This shows yet again what we have to face.. and what is to come.. not only for Israel but for the rest of the world too..!
