The UN resolutions don't specify 'Palestinian' refugees: it's no use pretending those 900,000 or so people weren't made refugees as part of the same conflict.
Many of them were formerly citizens of the 5 Arab nations which got together to attack Israel: it's obvious there's SOME connection.
Though just in case you didn't understand, it never occurred to me - or to them! - to blame or punish the Palestinians for the impoverishment and exile of other refugees. Not at all.
But it is neither a 'separate' nor an 'unrelated' issue. Hardly!
I repeat: to insist on 'justice' for the Palestinians and ignore the other refugees from the '48 conflict is not justice at all. Especially when some of those Jewish refugees were ethnically cleansed out fo East Jeruasalem in 1948/9 by the Jordanians when they became occupiers of that part of the city.
