Because opinionated folks who imagine that international law shines out of their ass, but can't make a coherent legal case against Israel, want to convince Palestinian Arabs that they should leave Israeli jobs - because it "looks better"What does the last bit mean?Resolution 194 followed closely international law. That is the basis of the resolution.He misquoted Resolution 194.A couple of months ago, Akiva Eldar wrote an article in Al Monitor, Compromise is possible on Palestinian right of return, demonstrating there is no Palestinian "right of return" according to international law:
After deliberating on a petition by Greek Cypriot refugees, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in March 2010 that claiming a certain land or property as “home” is insufficient to establish a right. An overwhelming majority of the 17 judges agreed that given that 35 years had passed since the petitioners lost their property when Turkey invaded northern Cyprus in 1974, and the local population had changed, the claimants were entitled to compensation in cash, but not necessarily in land. The judges warned that rectifying an old injustice could result in a new injustice. One can infer that UN Resolution 194 of 1948, stipulating that a refugee can choose between a return to Israel and compensation, does not grant every refugee a personal right to return.

Resolution 194 is non-binding.
Not even worth the paper it's written on.
Smoke blowing at best.
International law doesn't oblige states to accept hostile populations.
International law does oblige - did you never wonder why there's a thread called boycott Israel?
Think about it.
