The United Nations and the Palestinian Refugees: A Case Study in International Legal Fraud
The United Nations and the Palestinian Refugees: A Case Study in International Legal Fraud
![]()
What if you discovered that the overwhelming majority of Palestinian refugees never actually left Palestine in 1948, that they just evacuated from those portions of Mandate Palestine which constituted the frontline in what was promised to be a war of extermination of the Jewish population that lived within the confines of the war zone?
What if you found out that, in the vast majority of cases, those refugees did notscatter across the world or settle hundreds of miles from the land in which they were born? What if the truth was that in many cases, masses of those alleged refugees relocated tens of miles from their original homes, living not amidst any foreign majority population, but rather in territories where theyconstituted the majority and yet refused to exercise – or to demand – any kind of sovereignty for themselves?
What you are about to learn is the chronicle of an international legal fraud that has been perpetrated over the course of seven decades. The main financier and facilitator of this fraud is the institution known as the United Nations, specifically conducted through its member nations and through the offices of one of its constituent bodies, known as the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
