1. Since the end of WW2, about 100 million refugees from Europe, Asia and
Africa have been integrated into their host countries, unlike the
Palestinian Arab refugees, who have been sacrificed by their leadership on
the altar of delegitimizing Israel. According to General Alexander
Galloway, the UNRWA Director in Jordan, as recounted at a May 25, 1953
hearing of the Near East Senate Subcommittee: “The Arabs states do not want
to solve the refugee problem. They want to keep it as a weapon against
Israel. Arab leaders don’t give a damn whether the refugees live or die.”

2. Jordan was the only Arab country accepting the January 26, 1952 UN
Resolution #413 (a 3-year-$200MN plan proposed by the UN Secretary General,
Dag Hammerskjold) to integrate Palestinian refugees into their host Arab
countries. UN Secretary General, Trygve Lie said on January 3, 1950: The
refugees will lead an independent life in the countries which shelter them….
The refugees will no longer be maintained by an international
organization….”

3. Dr. Elfan Rees, an advisor on refugees to the World Council of Churches,
contended that due to Arab deception and pressure “The UN Relief and Work
Agency (UNRWA) is feeding the dead and non-refugees (NY Post, June 11,
1959).”

4. UNRWA was established on December 8, 1949 as a temporary, 2-3-year relief
agency, but became permanent, the largest UN agency, overstaffed, featuring
a $1 BN pension fund, and used as a dagger aimed at Israel.

5. UNRWA deals only with Palestinian refugees, employing 30,000 people,
compared with 6,400 people employed by the UN High Commissioner for
Refugees, which deals with 60 million refugees. The UN High Commissioner for
Refugees resolves/ends refugees’ status and minimizes their numbers; UNRWA
perpetuates and exacerbates refugees’ status and inflates their numbers.

6. According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, as stipulated by the
1951 UN Convention on Refugees: refugee status is not inherited by
descendants, but UNRWA applies refugee status in perpetuity – very liberally
without much scrutiny - to Arabs (including foreign laborers) who were in
Palestine for only two years before the 1948 war.

7. In 2012, UNRWA employees “elected candidates affiliated with Hamas
terrorists to 25 out of 27 seats on a union board that represents ten
thousand UNRWA workers. UNRWA facilities were used by Hamas in 2014 to
store missiles.

8. The American taxpayer funds 33% of the of the budget of UNRWA, which
aborted – under Palestinian and Arab pressure - Israeli offers, in 1978 and
1986, to co-fund the resettling and job-training of Arab refugees in Gaza
and Judea and Samaria.

9. Had Arab countries refrained from invading the newly-established Israel,
and had Israeli Arabs refrained from collaborating with the invasion – which
was driven by the Islamic doctrine that the entire Middle East was divinely
and exclusively ordained to Muslims - there would not have been war in
1948-49 nor 820,000 Jewish refugees from Arab lands and 320,000 Arab
refugees. Had the Arabs accepted Israeli offers to resettle and job-train
Arab refugees, there would not be any refugee left.

10. The Palestinian leader, Haj Amin al Husseini – touted by Mahmoud
Abbas - collaborated with Nazi Germany, conducted Arab-language radio
broadcasts from Berlin, planned to extend the Holocaust to Palestine and
incited: “Kill the Jews wherever you find them. It will please God, history
and Islam.” After 1945, he sustained this message from his Cairo
headquarters. On Nov. 24, 1947, the Acting Chairman of the (Palestinian)
Arab Higher Committee, Jamal Al-Husseini threatened: “Palestine shall be
consumed with fire and blood if the Jews get any part of it.”

11. The Commander-in-Chief of the invading Arab Liberation Army, Fawzi
el-Kaukji, a Nazi collaborator, threatened in August, 1947: “Should the UN
vote the wrong way, we will initiate a total war… murder, wreck and ruin….”
Kaukji was driven by Muhammad’s popular instruction in a Hadith which
supplements the Quran: ”The stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will
say: ‘O Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me; kill him!”

12. The Cyprus-based British Near East (Arab) Broadcasting reported on April
3, 1949: “The Arab Higher Committee encouraged the refugees’ flight from
their homes.”

13. The first US Ambassador to Israel, James McDonald, wrote in My Mission
in Israel, published in 1951, pages 174-6: “The refugees were on [Arab
leaders’] hands as a result of a war, which they had begun and lost…. Most
Arab governments show no real concern for the refugees….”

14. The most authentic rogue and sadistic nature of the Palestinian
Authority – and a key obstacle to peaceful coexistence - is reflected by its
hate-education and opposition to the resettling of Arab refugees, lest it
undermine the campaign to delegitimize and dehumanize Israel.

15. The next 6-minute-video will provide documentation on “Palestinian
refugees – who are they?”
