Many professing solidarity with Palestinians — including alleged legal experts — being slaughtered in Gaza have said they have “nowhere to go”. It’s not true. They do. Somewhere they actually should go. Their homes in what is now Israel. The majority of families of Palestinians in Gaza were forced there by Israel in 1948. . . . See great thread by Hanine Hassan <https://twitter.com/Hanine09/status/1756667664901034176>: “Who told you that the 1.5 million displaced Palestinians sheltering in Rafah have nowhere left to go?

And of course there’s UN Resolution 194 <https://fmep.org/resource/un-general-assembly-resolution-194/> of Dec. 11, 1948 which “*Resolves* that the 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…” . . . -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
