UN Resolution 194: Palestinians has the right to return to their homes stolen by Israel

[Ancient lion]

The United Nations General Assembly adopts resolution 194 (III), resolving that

“refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible.”

Palestine refugees​

UNRWA is unique in terms of its long-standing commitment to one group of refugees. It has contributed to the welfare and human development of four generations of Palestine refugees, defined as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 War.” The descendants of Palestine refugee males, including legally adopted children, are also eligible for registration.


UNRWA services are available to all those living in its areas of operations who meet this definition, who are registered with the Agency and who need assistance. When the Agency began operations in 1950, it was responding to the needs of about 750,000 Palestine refugees. Today, some 5.9 million Palestine refugees are eligible for UNRWA services.

General Assembly Resolution 3236 (1974)

It also reaffirms the inalienable right of the Palestinians to return to their homes and property from which they have been uprooted, demanded their return and stresses that the total respect for and the realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people are indispensable for the resolution of the Palestinian question.

It is important to note that the non-realization of UN Resolution 194 does not diminish its significance or the ongoing efforts towards a peaceful middle east.

Yes, the UN created an entirely unique system for the Palestinians, applicable to them and only to them, providing "rights" to which NO OTHER people had ever held and to which NO OTHER people have held since. Tell me why the Palestinians, of all the people of the world, should have "rights" granted to them that no other peoples hold.

Right of return of Palestinian refugees must be prioritised over political considerations: UN experts​

This reality is all too familiar for the Palestinian people, 75 years since the Nakba - the event that shattered Palestinian lives and severed their ancestral connection to their land during the establishment of the State of Israel. Since then, they have endured forced displacement, dispossession, and disenfranchisement, with their rights to self-determination, restitution, and compensation repeatedly denied. For 75 years, their cry for justice, embodied in the demand for the right to return, has resounded with unwavering determination.


For Palestinians, forced displacement has become part of their life for generations, tracing back to 1947-1949 when over 750,000 Palestinians were forced to flee massacres and mass expulsions and forcible transfers during the birth of the State of Israel. The majority, along with their descendants, are still in neighbouring Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, while 40 per cent of them remain under occupation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 1967. Progressively, Palestinian exile has scattered them across various nations globally.

We urgently call upon the international community to adopt a rights-based approach that addresses the root causes of violence and prioritises the individual and collective right of return for refugees and internally displaced persons, over political considerations. As the largest and most protracted displaced population since World War II, the Palestinian experience should serve as a poignant reminder to the international community of the suffering and vulnerability endured by refugees and internally displaced persons, urging immediate action to recognise and uphold their rights.”

You know what this sounds like? Zionism. No, really. Let's give it a try:

This reality is all too familiar for the [Jewish] people, after the events [of imperialism, empires, and colonization] that shattered [Jewish] lives and severed their ancestral connection to their land during the establishment of the various [Empires]. Since then, they have endured forced displacement, dispossession, and disenfranchisement, [pogroms, genocides] with their rights to self-determination, restitution, and compensation repeatedly denied. For years, their cry for justice, embodied in the demand for the right to return, has resounded with unwavering determination.

For the Jewish people, forced displacement has become part of their life for generations, tracing back [thousands of years] when they were forced to flee massacres and mass expulsions and forcible transfers during the [invading, conquests of Empires]. The majority, along with their descendants, are still in [other countries]. Progressively, Jewish exile has scattered them across various nations globally.

Do tell...when.......thanks for making my point

Israel’s failure to respect the right to return for Palestinians who were forced to flee their homes in 1948 is a flagrant violation of international law that has fuelled decades of suffering on a mass scale for Palestinian refugees across the region, said Amnesty International, marking 71 years since the Nakba (catastrophe), as it is known to Palestinians.

Israel must respect rights of return for Palestinians

More than 70 years after the state of Israel was created, displaced Palestinian refugees continue to face the devastating consequences

Stolen properties must be given to their owners.

Stolen properties must be given to their owners.

It wasn't stolen from the Ottoman Empire, they lost it fair and square.

For the OP:

 

[TheParser]

1. "Apartheid" is an ugly word that should be avoided.

2. But, yes, intellectually honest observers agree that the Palestinians in the West Bank live, uh, "separated" from Israeli settlers.

3. Yes, Palestinians have a system of passes that lets them enter certain zones and prohibits them from entering others.

4. Yes, 60% of the West Bank is controlled by the Israeli authorities. The Palestinian Authority has little authority.

5. Yes, Palestinian settlements have been demolished to make room for Israeli settlers.

6. Yes, many Palestinians are very, very angry about being treated in such a fashion.

7. Here in the States, the noisy and violent pro-Palestine protests and especially the verbal and physical attacks against Jewish people are only hurting the Palestinian cause.

8. The Democratic Party is truly between a rock and a hard place.

Thank you for your input.

Bear in mind that the thread is about Palestinians having the right to return to their stolen homes in what's now called "Israel".
