		The Palestinians talked of a "massacre" of more than 500 Palestinians by the Israelis, and said nearly the entire camp population was left homeless.
		The largest number of refugees is in Jordan, with nearly 240,000 reported to be in camps and another 1.3 million living outside of the camps.
		Refugee camp residents run their own activities, with the committees in each camp regarded as official bodies by the UN under the wing of the UNRWA.

	Legal Aspects of the Palestinian Refugee Question, by Ruth Lapidoth
		A Palestinian refugee is a person whose normal residence was Palestine for a minimum of two years preceding the conflict in 1948, and who, as a result of this conflict, lost both his home and his means of livelihood and took refuge in one of the countries where UNRWA provides relief.
		It should also be borne in mind that the provision concerning the refugees is but one element of the resolution that foresaw "a final settlement of all questions outstanding between" the parties, whereas the Arab states have always insisted on its implementation (in accordance with the interpretation favorable to them) independently of all other matters.

		For Palestinians, this choice was embodied in UN General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 194(III), mandating the return of refugees and restitution and compensation for their properties.
		Second, while the consensus for refugees at the time was third-country resettlement, the world consensus for the Palestinian refugees required an immediate and unconditional right to return to their homes and lands, and to compensation for property loss.
		In contrast, in other recent refugee situations (in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Indochina, for example) the collective rights to an independent entity or statehood were severed from the mechanism put in place for individual refugees to assert their claims to repatriate and obtain restitution and/or compensation for property.

		Palestinians were forced to flee or were expelled from their homes and lands at the time of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and again when Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip in 1967.
		Palestinians are at a particular disadvantage in relation to other foreign nationals as they do not have a state that could provide reciprocal treatment to Lebanese nationals.
		The involvement of Palestinian factions in the civil war is cited as one of the main reasons why Palestinians are the victims of discrimination in Lebanon.

	The Palestine Refugee Problem
		The war, and the flight of the refugees, known in Arabic as the Nakba (disaster), were central formative events that determined the national character of Israel and of the Palestinians, and helped to define the conflict in its present terms.
		Palestinians point out that Zionists carried out a number of massacres and terrorist operations, notably in Deir Yassin, where Irgun and Lehi forces killed about 110 villagers, and that the Haganah had formulated Plan D, which, the Palestinian partisans claim, was a plan for expulsion of the Arabs from Palestine.
		Palestinian partisans point out that most of the Jews who left Arab countries did so willingly, and that in any case, it is not their responsibility, but that of the Arab states.

	[UNRWA:] The Refugee Curse - article by Daniel Pipes
		Rather than their "status" as refugees creating "anguish and discontent," it is their dispossession and statelessness that lies at the heart of their predicament.
		What condemns the Palestine refugees to "lives of exclusion, self-pity and nihilism" is not UNRWA, but rather the inability of the parties of the conflict to solve the refugee issue.
		The Palestinians are refugees from an ancient homeland to which they will always earn to return.

	Palestine Center -The Palestinian Refugee Crisis
		The refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza, densely populated and poor, have become permanent towns and villages.
		Most Israelis blame the Arab states for creating the refugee problem by refusing to accept the UN partition of Palestine in 1947, declaring war on Israel, and urging the Palestinian population to leave until the Arab armies had defeated the Zionists.
		Few Israelis would agree with the Palestinian view that Israel itself was responsible for “ethnic cleansing,” and that in rescuing themselves from the tragedy of the Jewish holocaust they, in turn, created another tragedy of loss and exile for Palestinians.

	The Palestinian refugee Issue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The issue of the Palestinian refugee is the core of the Fateh ideology at its birth.
		The Palestinians were led to their destiny as part of a joint Palestinian Jordanian delegation with no representatives of the PLO or negotiators from Jerusalem or Palestinians in diaspora.
		The refugee issue was excluded from the bilateral track and was included in the multilateral track so that it would become a regional case rather than a Palestinian-Israeli one, At Oslo, it was agreed that this case would be one of the final solution issues.

	Hamas Expanding its Activity in the Lebanese Palestinian Refugee Camps
		The establishment of this latest Palestinian institution in Lebanon was announced at a press conference in Siddon in November 1998.
		Furthermore, the social development of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon in the past 50 years under the influence of the PLO was directed toward a clear nationalist-secular conception.
		It would seem that from an Israeli point of view, the Islamist activity in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon brings with it the risk of further strengthening the Iranian elements and Hizballah in that country, by swelling their ranks with reinforcements whose past is replete with violence.

		The Tory refugees fled the 13 colonies to Canada, the Caribbean, and elsewhere because they wished to escape battle zones, feared reprisals, were expelled or simply did not wish to be part of the United States.
		Of the countless millions of refugees from the 1940s, the only ones not absorbed and resettled by their “Mother Countries,” by the countries in which they sought refuge, were the “Palestinian refugees.” The Arab world realized that they could be used as pawns and as weapons to continue the Arab jihad of annihilation against Israel.
		These refugees were kept in “refugee camps” run by the Arab world and financed by the United Nations and the world community (that is, mainly the United States).

		Notice the phrase "covers the descendants of persons," unlike other refugees under the UN's auspices; "Palestinian Refugees" are able to transfer refugee status on to their heirs.
		"Palestinian Refugee" status is a coveted political symbol, not to mention a lucrative "job", with economic benefits from UNRWA and the PLO.

		And it appealed to host states and UN agencies to enhance the protection of Palestinian refugees until they can implement durable solutions based on their right of return.
		In this context, the Coalition considered pros and cons of a new Palestinian strategy which combines the quest for implementation of Palestinian refugee rights with a one-state, rather than a two-state, framework of conflict resolution.
		The Palestine Right-of-Return Coalition is an independent network of Palestinian refugee community organizations and NGOs in Palestine/Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Europe and North America, formed in 2000 in order to encourage coordination between Palestinians in the homeland and in exile for the defense of Palestinian refugees' right of return.

	'Just World News' by Helena Cobban: Palestinian refugee issues
		If the refugees had a state that would, (1) give them citizenship, and (2) be just as accountable to them as it is to Palestinian non-refugees-- then just maybe that state could go to bat for them and help them deal with the issues of displacement and dispossession.
		The 'Palestinian refugee' issue is clearly tied as a matter of international law to the 'Jewish refugee' issue, as well as to the wider regional one.
		The history of the creation of resolution 242 clearly indicates that the use of the word 'refugee' as opposed to 'arab refugee' was deliberate insofar as all refugee problems were to be resolved under that resolution in conjunction with the broader issues.

		It is remarkable, then, that the Palestinian Arab refugees–many of whom are currently residing in countries whose culture, language, and social structure are identical to their own–have never been offered resettlement as a durable solution to their situation in light of the political unfeasibility of a return to the State of Israel.
		The full extent of the terrorist infiltration in Palestinian refugee camps was revealed during the IDF’s Operation Defensive Shield, mounted in the spring of 2002 in response to an unprecedented wave of terror attacks inside Israel.
		The refugee camp is rightly considered to be the center of events and the operational headquarters of all the factions in the Jenin area–it is, as the other side calls it, a hornets’ nest.

	Palestinian territories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Palestinian territories is one of a number of designations for those portions of the British Mandate of Palestine captured and militarily occupied by Egypt and Jordan, and later, in the Six-Day War, by Israel.
		The final status of the "Palestinian territories" as becoming (wholly or largely) an independent state for Arabs is supported by the countries that back the Quartet's "Road map for peace".
		The Palestinian territories have been assigned a country code of PS in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, and accordingly, the Palestinian Authority was granted control of the corresponding Internet country code top-level domain.ps.

	Critical Analysis Of The Birth Of The Palestinian Refugee Problem By Benny Morris
		Beside the emergence of the State of Israel, the other major result of the 1948 war was the destruction of the Palestinian society and the birth of the refugee problem.
		In the third and fourth stages of the exodus, in July and October-November 1948, about three hundred thousand more [Palestinian] Arabs became refugees, including the sixty thousand inhabitants of Lydda and Ramla who were expelled by IDF troops [based on the orders of Ben-Gurion and Yitzhak Rabin].
		However, many of Nazareth's [Palestinian] Arabs were allowed to stay, apparently to avert the prospect of negative reactions by Western Christian states [For the same reason Nazareth was the ONLY place where Ben-Gurion gave clear orders to shoot to kill any Jewish looter].
