Summary: | [...]some of the articles offer cogent and well-informed rebuttals of the accusation of Israel's violations of international law, such as: the settlements in the West Bank violate the Fourth Geneva Convention; the security barrier violates international law; various Israeli military actions, e.g. against Hamas in Gaza or against the "Gaza flotillas," violate the law of armed international conflict; Israel deserves to be prosecuted before the International Criminal Court, etc. According to Ben-Ari, in 1982, UNRWA decided to expand the definition of "Palestinian refugee" to include not only those who fled Israel in 1948 but their offspring in perpetuity, thus sharply increasing the number of "refugees" from about 700,000 to five million and ensuring exponential growth in their numbers in the future. |
