The Geneva convention vs palestinian refugee status.

[Boston1]

The Geneva conventions are clear. Combatants and those even suspected of aiding combatants are not refugees.

So if a refugee in the 48 war actually didn't qualify as a refugee because of the varying degrees of involvment as specified by the Geneva conventions, even if the UN listed them as refugees due to its failure to follow its own protocols and segregate combatants from legitimate refugees during the registration process, are their descendants today eligible for refugee status and protections ?

IE If a person never qualified for refugee status, how can their descendants be considered refugees ?

IV Geneva convention

Quote

• Art. 5 Where in the territory of a Party to the conflict, the latter is satisfied that an individual protected person is definitely suspected of or engaged in activities hostile to the security of the State, such individual person shall not be entitled to claim such rights and privileges under the present Convention as would, if exercised in the favour of such individual person, be prejudicial to the security of such State.
• Where in occupied territory an individual protected person is detained as a spy or saboteur, or as a person under definite suspicion of activity hostile to the security of the Occupying Power, such person shall, in those cases where absolute military security so requires, be regarded as having forfeited rights of communication under the present Convention.

Don't try to rationalize the religious insanity between Muslims and Jews over a strip of desert wasteland they think God intended for them. It's futile.

In addition to the provisions which shall be implemented in peace time, the present Convention shall apply to all cases of declared war or of any other armed conflict which may arise between two or more of the High Contracting Parties, even if the state of war is not recognized by one of them.
• The Convention shall also apply to all cases of partial or total occupation of the territory of a High Contracting Party, even if the said occupation meets with no armed resistance.
• Although one of the Powers in conflict may not be a party to the present Convention, the Powers who are parties thereto shall remain bound by it in their mutual relations. They shall furthermore be bound by the Convention in relation to the said Power, if the latter accepts and applies the provisions thereof.

Which means like it or not the Arab Muslim colonists fate falls under the Geneva conventions.

Looks like that declaration of war didn't work out to well for them now did it. A hostile force of Arab Muslim colonists is occupying land designated as for the creation of a Jewish national homeland.
