New Arab city in Israel refuses to take in UNRWA 'refugees'

[shira]

The new Arab city of Rawabi being built in Samaria (Shomron) with Israeli approval refuses to allow "Palestinian refugees" from UNRWA camps to relocate to the city. This, despite past statements to the contrary, and the general impression that the need for a new Arab city was partly because of the suffering of said 'refugees', especially those still living in refugee camps.

....And yet, the town refuses to accept refugees – and why? "Because that would violate the PLO doctrine of the 'inalienable right of return' to homes which they left in Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Be'er Sheva, Tzfat, Ashkelon and more,"

....This is all the more shocking in view of the willingness of European countries to allow in hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees from Syria, even given fears of terrorists among them. In addition, the Palestinian Authority and its supporters perpetually point to the "suffering" of the fourth generation 'refugees' as another reason why Israel must cede Judea and Samaria – while the developers of Rawabi, when the opportunity to alleviate the refugees' plight arises, turn the other way.

2. The Palestinians are often honest about what they want most.

The end of the Jewish State of Israel. I just wish that the Leftist Wormtongues who support them would be as honest.

3. Is there an actual story here?

In spite of the relatively low level of writing skill of the author of the OP and the obvious hasbara angle, the single sentence about people being excluded from living in Rawabi may contain a grain of truth. Are there some other sources out there with info about this?

5. Do you support keeping refugees in camps for generations? n/t

6. If the OP is a hoax, what point is there to discuss it further? n/t
