Israel Must End The ‘Palestinian’ Charade

 It is welcome news that Sweden’s Aid Minister, Benjamin Dousa, has said that Sweden will no longer fund UNRWA, apparently satisfied with Israel’s evidence that it has been a HAMAS front. The Arabs there need not worry, though, because Sweden is going to increase the amount of its aid, only using other agencies.

Lucky for them. However, Israel could help itself by going further and attacking the very idea that the recipients of UNRWA largesse are “Palestinian refugees” entitled to such aid when there are virtually no refugees among them. And in any case, there is nothing Palestinian about them.

History explains why there is nothing “Palestinian” about these people on the UNRWA rolls. In 1948, when the armies of five surrounding Arab states attacked Israel, there were in Israel thousands of foreign, overwhelmingly unskilled, and illiterate migrant workers in the country who had come into Mandatory Palestine looking for work.
