1. The real issue
Danny ,   London England   (02.07.14)
There are 24 Arab countries and one very small Jewish country. This one small Jewish state accepted most of the 800,000 Jews pushed out of Arab states in 1948 onwards. The 24 Arab states kept the 700,000 Arabs who left Israel in refugee camps with UN approval NOT to find new homes for the Arab refugees. A worldwide Jewish community of about thirteen million found homes for Jewish refugees, while a world wide Islamic community of abou one billion could not find space for Islamic refugees.
2. UNWRA
Alan ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (02.08.14)
UNWRA is a self-perpetuating economic boondoggle for a lot of useless UN staff and poor underpaid Palestinian field workers. It's only purpose is to perpetuate the myth of "The Palestinian Refugees" by the major Arab countries opposed to Israel's existence. After almost 70 years how is it still possible for people to remain refugees and never get absorbed into the countries where they reside?
