That only defines who is eligible for aid.You people keep beating the wrong horse. UNWRA is strictly an aid agency. The resolution of the refugee problem was mandated to the UNCCP in accordance to resolution 194.The politicization of UNRWA is what makes it an anti-humanitarian agency.
Hweidi goes through the history of UNRWA, not entirely accurately, describing how different it was in the 1950s to today, and by doing so he doesn't quite realize that he is damning the agency.
In 1949, the Agency was given the task of supporting the Palestinian refugees, in addition to providing humanitarian services such as health, education and relief, coordinating with the host countries to integrate refugees into the economies of the region and working to settle those who do not wish to return and reside in host countries in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. These countries were forced to sign armistice agreements with the Israeli occupation between February and July 1949, creating a political climate suitable to begin the process of resettlement without the objection of the host countries and the exploitation of the deteriorating humanitarian situation of the refugees. The refugees themselves stopped this project and promoted awareness of what their perception was being plotted against them.It was the Arab countries and self-appointed Palestinian "leaders" who fought against UNRWA's original aims, not the refugees themselves, who would have gladly accepted being integrated into Arab countries.
And most of them still would, today. We have documented cases where loopholes opened for Palestinians to become citizens of Egypt and Lebanon, and how tens of thousands of them jumped at the opportunity to do so.
Hweidi describes other failed attempts to integrate Palestinians into the region:

Palestinian op-ed accurately explains how @UNRWA turned from humanitarian to political ~ Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News
The UNWRA has nothing to do with the refugees other than to provide aid.
UNWRA has an operational definition of who is registered as a "refugee" and has actually changed that definition. Are you saying they are operating illegally by doing so? What definition should they be using?
You are so confused. The PA does not fund UNWRA schools.Mahmoud “Money for Nothin’” Abbas is making good on his pledge to fund Islamic terrorism no matter the cost. The UNRWA welfare dollars he doesn’t steal and siphon off for the benefit of those in his criminal syndicate will be prioritized for paying islsmic terrorists.
The PA chooses to fund terrorists
over children’s education
PA chooses to fund terrorists over children’s education - PMW Bulletins
By Maurice Hirsch, Adv. and Itamar Marcus
- Until today there had been concern that UNRWA would not open 700 schools providing education for 320,000 PA children
- UNRWA's claimed deficit of $217,000,000 is far less than the nearly $400,000,000 the PA pays yearly to terrorists and families of "Martyrs"
- Instead of rewarding terror, the PA should fund the education of the Palestinian children
Yesterday the Palestinian Authority made clear to the world that if forced to choose, it will pay salaries to terrorists rather than pay for the education of its children.
Recent reports claimed that UNRWA did not have enough money to open up the UNRWA school system for over 320,000 Palestinian children. UNRWA’s budget for the schools could easily be paid by the PA from the money it spends paying terrorist prisoners and families of so-called “Martyrs,” yet, last night Mahmoud Abbas announced on PA TV: “Israel considers them (i.e., terrorist prisoners) criminals... Even if we need to cut from our flesh, we will continue to give the support and aid.” [Official PA TV, Aug. 15, 2018]

Indeed, the Palestinians have the right to defend themselves.According to Hamas, terrorism is not just a means -- it is a right.
Saleh Armouti, an MP in Jordan's House of Representatives last year, went a step further, claiming that the UN supported armed resistance, in general -- and terrorist attacks in particular:
[It was] the legitimate right of the liberated prisoner Ahlam Tamimi [to] resist the occupier, as the United Nations laws stipulate the right to self-determination, as ruled [by] international legitimacy [as] the right to resist the occupation.Tamimi is the mastermind of the Sbarro massacre that murdered 15 civilians (including 7 children and a pregnant woman) and wounded 130.
Is it actually possible that the United Nations, which is supposed to be an agent for world peace, actually recognizes the right to blow people up?
In 1974, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution which:
3. Reaffirms the legitimacy of the peoples' struggle for liberation form colonial and foreign domination and alien subjugation by all available means, including armed struggle;
7. Strongly condemns all Governments which do not recognize the right to self-determination and independence of peoples under colonial and foreign domination and alien subjugation, notably the peoples of Africa and the Palestinian people;The phrase "armed struggle" is repeatedly used in the 1968 Palestinian National Charter, a copy of which is conveniently carried on the UN website.
In 1978, the UN General Assembly went further. "Armed struggle" was not just one option included among others, but that it was a particular option to be used. Also, in 1978 the word "occupation" was used - a word that was not used at all in the 1974 resolution.

It is not the content. It is the presentation.Really, P F Tinmore?
You mark my post about murdering innocents as "funny"?! You find the ideology of, "the murder of innocents is abhorrent" is an ideology to be laughed at or mocked?
