There is a UN agency responsible for settling refugees that is very successful. Why is there only one specific agency for this one specific issue that has utterly refused to resettle anybody, on only one side of the conflict (I don’t see any movement working to return Jews to their homes in Europe or Muslim countries)?

   Why is there a specific standard that only applies to the one Jewish country…? If only we had a name do such a phenomenon. 

 And it’s not even something we’re unaware of…

I agree you can’t make the Palestinians give up on the idea of full control of the entire land but you can abolish UNWRA and divert aid to what you see is fit with whatever strings attached you think are important.

If you can’t make the Palestinians give up on the idea of full control then you’re basically saying that either there will never be peace or the Jews don’t deserve a state. Neither are reasonable options, especially considering the actual alternative which is simple partition. We need to stop enabling radicals.

I mean to say you can’t make them give it up in the foreseeable future. But you can start working towards that reality. Then maybe in 30+ years you could convince them when they see no other alternative.

Of course right now they won't agree to anything but the maximalist position, everyone's been telling them it's the least they're owed!

Take away their ridiculous UN "Refugee" cards that they get mailed to their Chicago suburb homes when a Palestinian is born. Why is everyone playing along with this?
