After 70 years, who are the Palestinian refugees? – BBC News
In Nepal, a huge wave of mud and debris has left hundreds dead and rescuers racing to find survivors in treacherous conditions.

There are fears of more flash floods in Nepal, as rescuers scramble through villages engulfed in rock and mud in a desperate search for survivors of the flash floods that have left at least 1,400 missing and hundreds dead. It is feared that the final death toll may be much higher.
Survivors have been giving harrowing accounts of how their entire families were wiped away in the catastrophe.
Hundreds of foreign nationals are desperately waiting to hear from loved ones thought to be caught in the disaster. Nepalese authorities say at least 380 people are confirmed to have died.
The region is popular with trekkers from around the world and is a pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists, visited by tens of thousands of pilgrims each year.
Travellers from at least 28 countries, are among those missing following the catastrophe. The Nepalese authorities says among those missing are citizens of India, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Singapore, Kazakhstan, Japan, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Germany, Belgium, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Ireland, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, South Africa and Israel.
Tens of thousands of tourists make their way through Nepal annually. The disaster struck at the time of the year when people, especially Indian tourists, visit the area.
State media in China, which controls Tibet, reported three dead and at least 558 missing there. Among these are 260 foreign nationals. It is not clear if these figures overlap with the numbers provided by Nepal.
It appears that collapse of mountain glaciers triggered the disaster and there are fears of an imminent risk of further flash flooding without warning. Climate change is known to be driving faster glacier melt in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region, but scientists say it is too soon to pinpoint its role in this specific event.

🤔 think about what IF
Syria 🇸🇾 and ! Lebanon 🇱🇧 and Egypt 🇪🇬 take back their scattered brethren: 1#
Offer them an equal path of citizenship as Egypt does thru marriages, state Identification and passports to move between borders how many would stay and fight for the right to return ?
Today their stateless refugees because the lack of peace Islamic countries have envisioned for their masses.
Israel only helps to reinforce the victim mentality of Arab states that think that Islams conquering of all the countries as a divine sign of Islams superiority.
Therefore all the hatred fomented by muslims around the world.

They are NOT refugees. Get it?! Again . . . they are NOT refugees. The absurdity of this continual charade has caused madness across the globe. I suspect the MAIN reason this labeling continues is due the selfish personal needs of those employed at the U.N.R.W.A. It is like most all non-profit organizations formed for a 'useful' public purpose, they never go away. They never go away because they become organisms.
Like any biological organism, it strives to survive. The people who are employed at the organism have their OWN needs to feed, first and foremost having a paying job. You don't have that if you allow the purpose of the agency to become viewed as obsolete. Thus, there will today and forever be a U.N. agency specifically for providing for Palestinians, no matter any political changes.
The problem lies in that the UNRWA was never merged into the UNHCR found one year later. That is THE problem. Had it, the Palestinians would have lost this status many decades back. There are too many REAL refugees in the world, pushed out by strife elsewhere, that need the money being funneled into Gaza for Jihadist purposes.

Many of those black‘n‘white footage actually show Jewish refugees fleeing to Israel from Arab countries…in fact there had been more Jewish than Arab Palestinians refugees. And UNRWA is a scam.

How can there be 4 generations of refugees?? They live in the same cities as other Palestinians for decades, you have the same job opportunities as every other Palestinian, why doest Lebanon or Syria give the “Palestinian refugees” citizenship? I know why; this is all for the purpose of gaining sympathy and perpetuating it for as long as it takes. How is no one being critical of this narrative?

One of the biggest mistakes Israel made was recognizing the Palestinian people, who never had any historical, ethnic, and linguistic ties to the region. They as an ethnic group were "made up" in the 1960s by Yasser Arafat. The name itself "Palestine" has its origins with the Romans, who renamed the area after expelling the Jews from Judea. This renaming was indeed meant as a slight to the Jews, as it referred to their ancient enemies in the Old Testament (The Philistines). There is no such thing as 4th generation refugee, they are just living off the back of other people donations.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque itself that Muslim deem as a holy site and claim as their own was built on the site of the Jewish Temple, it was a flag that was used to triumph over the Jews. Also FYI Quran calls the Jews enemies of Allah and descendants of pigs and apes.
Palestinians are Arabs, like people in Lebanon, Iran, Jordan, and Egypt, and they do NOT have historical ties as Jews do to the land. and they should be disperse and live with Arabs , their people. SUPPORT ISRAEL!

no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilet
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.
you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied
no one chooses refugee camps
or strip searches where your
body is left aching
or prison,
because prison is safer
than a city of fire
and one prison guard
in the night
is better than a truckload
of men who look like your father
no one could take it
no one could stomach it
no one skin would be tough enough

They are professional refugees, paid by the UN. To keep the scam going, they have to murder some Jews and to sacrifice a bunch of Nobody Abu Nobodys from time to time.
End UNRWA = this conflict is over and everyone gets to move on.

What happened to the Jewish refugees as a result of 1948? The Palestinian refugee issue is evil. These people are not allowed to leave the camps. They are generations of pawns used to destroy Israel. Bottom line, Islam cannot STANS for a Jewish state. They will do anything to destroy Israel. No matter how much their own people suffer. Religion of peace my a$$.

Here, this is interesting: The Palestinian refugees are unique from all other refugee populations on earth. Why? Because the United Nations has created a special organization for Palestinian refugees that both defines them differently and cares for them separately from all other refugee populations on earth. They have been a full partner in helping Palestinians preserve their status and nurture their grievances. The UNHCR defines a “refugee” as someone who is driven from “the country of his nationality” by a well-founded fear of persecution. Refugees do not transfer this status with their genes to their children. Refugees lose their refugee status as soon as they are granted citizenship in a new country. But after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the UN made a new organization dedicated exclusively to the Palestinian refugees: the UNRWA. The UNRWA defines a “Palestinian refugee” as anyone who was displaced by the 1948 War plus the “descendants of Palestinian refugee males, including legally adopted children.” PALESTINIAN REFUGEES PASS their REFUGEE STATUS to THEIR CHILDREN in PERPETUITY. In addition, UNRWA continues to recognize a Palestinian refugee as such even if he or she has obtained citizenship in another country. Instead of shrinking from generation to generation, the number of Palestinian refugees is growing exponentially. In 1950 there were about 750,000 Palestinian refugees. By 2014 there were 5 million. If they were defined the same way as all other refugees in the world, that number would have been closer to 30,000.

Evan conference 1938, all countries decided not to accept jewish refugees from Germany …even US, Canada and Australia…and they have enormous land..
Palestinians lost their land, now 700 thousands of armed settlers in occupied land….
Countries met in Evan conference need to accept Palestinians refugees..
And send armies to protect them from settlers..
