The UN kept and prolongs a «Palestinian refugee problem»

Without UN funding, the issue of Palestinian refugees would have gone away a long time ago.

Prof. Nitza Nachmias claims the Arabs created their own refugee problem.

This is a statement by Prof. Nitza Nachmias of the Jewish-Arab Center in Haifa University. She says that it wasn’t for UNRWA and its half-billion dollar annual budget, the Palestinian refugee problem would have been solved long ago.

There is no such thing as Palestinian refugees. If people would stop calling the places in which they live ‘refugee camps,’ then they would see that these places are just like villages and towns anywhere else, and the inhabitants are totally rehabilitated, Nachmias told Arutz Sheva’s Shimon Cohen on Sunday.

She continued:
«Refugee camps are like the maabarot [in which Israel housed its hundreds of thousands of new immigrants from North Africa and elsewhere] in the 1950’s or the camps now in Haiti – not the villages with streets and stone houses in what is known as Palestinian refugee camps of today».

«They are rehabilitated better than refugees who are not supported by UNRWA», Nachmias said. «Practically, factually and legally, there is no such thing as ‘Palestinian refugees.’ … Refugee camps are a fiction, and most of those who claim to be refugees have already been integrated into other countries».

Prof. Nachmias, a senior researcher at the Jewish-Arab Center who also teaches in Asheklon College and the University of Maryland, feels that Israel has taken the wrong approach in dealing with this issue:

«We can’t simply push it off to the ‘final status talks’ and say, -We don’t accept the demand for the right-of-return because it will destroy the Jewish character of our state-

What do they care about our Jewish character?

If they deserve to be here, then it’s tough luck on us! Rather, Israel should take a pro-active approach, basing itself on international law and precedents, and declare that the Palestinian refugee issue no longer exists. They are no longer refugees». ”

Rules for Palestinians are Different?

«According to international law,” Nachmias explains, “a refugee is an individual or family that was forced to run away – but this definition does not extend to children [of the original refugees], a community or a group. The only exception to this rule is the Palestinians, for whom the international laws are apparently different»

If it wasn’t for UNRWA, Nachmias indicates, the issue of Palestinian refugees would have gone away a long time ago:

A lucky Islamic soldier. Fed by United Nations, and kept in camps as a tool used by Islam to target Israel.

«UNRWA is [no longer] a welfare agency, but rather an international employment agency for the Palestinians. UNRWA has 30,000 Palestinian employees, with 100 international experts at the helm. It is the biggest employer of Palestinians, and has an annual budget of a half-billion dollars. I discovered documents of pension funds of over a billion dollars a year, managed by brokers in Switzerland. All this for what is defined as a ‘welfare agency’ whose mandate is renewed every three years».

My comment:

Why is there no Jewish refugees today?

What happened to 800.000 Jews who were forced to leave Arab countries and Persia?

The answer is simple. The state of Israel absorbed them, and gave them citizenship, along with two million Muslims that refused to flee the war zone because of Arabic pressure.

What happened to the Muslims that declined David Ben Gurion`s offer to stay behind in Israel?

What happened to the Arabs who were told by Arabs that they would return to a new Arab nation, as soon as the Jewish Zionist state was defeated?

These Arab Muslims left Israel, lost the war, and ended up in so-called «Palestinian refugee camps». Fooled by their own Arab brethren, They were all quickly denied citizenship in 21 Arabic nations. The truth is that Arabs made their own Muslim brethren «eternal refugees», to be used as a political tool in the never ending bid to destroy the winner, the Jewish state.

China Threatens Nuclear War

The Chinese military would consider a pre-emptive nuclear strike if it had no other way to defend itself in a war against another nuclear-armed state, Kyodo News said Jan. 5, citing Chinese documents.

The policy, called “Lowering the threshold of nuclear threats” may indicate a shift from China’s pledge not to first fire nuclear weapons under any circumstances. U.S. military experts have argued since around 2007 that Beijing may have shown signs of altering its pledge of no first use of nuclear weapons.

Taiwan’s lawmakers expressed concern on Wednesday over the European Union’s (EU’s) possible lifting of its arms embargo on China.

The EU imposed an arms embargo on China after the Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989, but calls to lift it have emerged in recent years. The French newspaper Le Figaro reported on Dec. 30 that, according to a source close to EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, the lifting of the embargo “could happen very quickly.”

The newspaper said that the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Germany had lowered their opposition to the idea.

My comment;

China’s declaration that it might use nuclear weapons if it felt it was being overwhelmed by a conventional attack is very serious. It’s a big step down a short road to nuclear weapons becoming just another tool that armies use to fight, instead of the proverbial “doomsday weapon” whose use is all but unthinkable by rational people.

This declaration can be added to China’s deplorable human rights record, support for criminal dictatorships and sundry other acts which put it outside the community of civilized nations. The fact that the EU is seriously considering lifting an embargo against selling high tech weapons and military equipment to feed the military power of this evil giant, which is unapologetically threatening its democratic neighbors, is a testament to the moral bankruptcy and economic desperation which informs the thinking of post-Christian European leaders.

If this is how they act in East Asia, how can we expect them to act any differently in the Middle East, where the only democracy, Israel, is threatened by despotic governments and terrorists who have lots of money?

Jesus said in the End Times there would be an increase in violence and lawlessness. This is to be expected, and the only thing we can do about it is pray for our own safety and the safety and salvation of those we love, and pray for our leaders to have wisdom to deal with these situations.
